Rasel Al-Amin

Thunberg Fellow, SCAS.
Postdoctoral Researcher in Molecular Tools, Uppsala University

Rasel Al-Amin grew up in Bangladesh and he is a pharmacist by training. After his Bachelor’s degree in
Pharmacy, he was admitted to a master program at the KTH Royal Institute of Technology, Stockholm,
where he received a Master of Science degree in Chemical Engineering. He then joined the Landegren lab
at Uppsala University, where he obtained his PhD in Molecular Medicine in March 2019. His PhD thesis
work focused on molecular tools development for high-throughput profiling of drug target interactions,
and included the development of a target engagement-mediated amplification technique (TEMA). Al-Amin's
research has already attracted considerable interest when he has given talks and presented posters at several
conferences around the world. His research has also resulted in highly cited publications in journals such as
Nature Methods and Diabetologia.

As a Thunberg Fellow within the Measurable Man program at SCAS, Rasel Al-Amin will further extend
TEMA as a means to measure the potential for drugs to modulate protein function and to treat individual
patients. .
