DrTara Hameed

I am a Research Associate in Prof. Reiko Tanaka's Biological Systems and Control Lab. I research potential therapies for critical invasive fungal infections and novel ways to combat drug-resistant fungi using an interdisciplinary approach of mathematical modelling and Bayesian statistics applied to experimental time-series data. The aim of my work is to eventually translate the in silico analyses to real bedside outcomes for patients. 

I began my research path at the University of Warwick where I graduated with a Mathematics degree (BSc, 2017). I went on to join Imperial College after being offered a position on the Theoretical Systems Biology and Bioinformatics 4-year PhD programme, funded by the Wellcome Trust. The programme benefited me with a year of interdisciplinary training (MSc, 2018) before I completed a PhD in the Department of Bioengineering under the supervision of Prof. Reiko Tanaka (PhD, 2023).
