Saad Imran is a postdoctoral researcher in the Atkinson Lab at Princeton University. He earned his B.S. in Chemistry at Lahore University of Management Sciences (Lahore, Pakistan) and his Ph.D. in Chemistry at Princeton University. During his Ph.D., he explored the structural biology of an iron-sulfur electron transfer protein and the mechanism of an immunologically relevant heme protein. After Princeton, Saad utilized and further built upon his bioinorganic chemistry skills to investigate the mechanism of flavin-based electron bifurcation at the National Laboratory of the Rockies (NLR, formerly NREL). Saad is very excited to return to Princeton, this time at ODBI, where he plans to study metalloenzymes and metalloproteins involved in biodegradation of pollutants and electron transfer in environmentally important microbes, and hopes to learn a lot more synthetic biology and microbiology. Outside of the lab, he enjoys spending time with family and friends, watching TV shows, and going to petting zoos (which he secretly enjoys more than his kid!).
