Dr Martine Abboud
About
Abboud is a junior research fellow in the department of chemistry at the University of Oxford. She holds a DPhil in chemical biology from the University of Oxford.
Current research
Abboud's doctoral work focused on the use of a wide range of ligand- and protein-observed biophysical and biochemical methods to study the hypoxic response and antimicrobial resistance. Her work provided interesting information about the substrate selectivity of the dioxygenases and mechanistic insights into the lactamases.
Future research vision
Abboud is currently interested in studying metabolic enzymes involved in cancer.
