Rasiqh Wadud

Rasiqh Wadud is a Fellow at the University of Cambridge, affiliated with the School of Biological Sciences and the Department of Veterinary Medicine. Their research focuses on red cell physiology, drug discovery, sickle cell disease, PIEZO1, and disease pathogenesis. Wadud's work explores the physiology and pharmacology of mechanosensitive ion channels, particularly their role in red blood cells and vascular biology. Their research includes techniques such as red blood cell functional assays, calcium flux assays, electrophysiology, flow cytometry, and microscopy. Areas of collaboration include drug discovery, ion channel modulators for red blood cell disorders, compound screening, medical chemistry, and translational models in haematology.
