Biography
Deeba completed her masters in animal sciences, from Department of Zoology, University of Punjab and proceeded for PhD in the area of cell and molecular biology from School of biological sciences in the same university. She graduated in August 2008 continued as research associate in the same department. In 2010, Deeba Noreen Baig joined National institute of Physiological Sciences (NIPS), Okazaki, Japan, as post-doctoral fellow. In NIPS, she was working under direct supervision of Prof. Dr. Ryuichi Shigemoto, who is a renowned scientist in the field of freeze fracture replica plating and electron microscopy. She acquired immuno-histochemistry and confocal microscopy skills there. Keeping in view my interest in the areas of neurosciences and molecular biology, he directed Deeba to Prof. Tanaka Shinji, in University of Tokyo, to whom Deeba learned embryonic in vivo microinjection and electroporation system, which is break through now a days in the field of neuro-molecular biology. On returning to NIPS, Deeba Noreen Baig started working in my previous lab with Prof. Katsuhiko Tabuchi and established in vivo microinjection and electroporation system to generate autism candidate gene transgenic model mice.
In 2012, she was awarded prestigious post-doctoral fellowship from Higher Education commission Pakistan and she joined University of Nebraska Medical Center as foreign post doctoral fellow. In UNMC she has been engaged in Prof. Woo-Yang Kim lab on autism project.
In 2013, she appointed as Assistant Professor in Department of Biological Sciences, Forman Christian College University, Lahore. Here, based on my specialization and expertise she is pursuing research in continuation of autism project in Pakistani population.
