Madiha Saiedi
Madiha is a second-year PhD student at the College of Medicine and Public Health, Flinders University, under the supervision of Professor Joseph Selvanayagm and Dr Rebecca Perry. After completing a bachelor of biotechnology at the Flinders University, she commenced an honours position in Molecular and Neuroscience, investigating Type II diabetes, finishing the year by publishing in PLoS ONE Genetics. Among her formal education, Madiha also undertook two summer research positions after gaining competitive research scholarships. Her current role is now in clinical research, investigating Atypical Fabry Disease and its prevalence in the Australian cohort of cardiac patients with left ventricular hypertrophy. To date she has undertaken a screening study, which has helped to identify patients who would otherwise remain undiagnosed by current guidelines. Madiha’s PhD is centred around raising awareness in the community about rare genetic disorders to enhance future guidelines.
