https://pages.htgaa.org/2026b/sami-ur-rehman/index.htmlAbout me I’m a final-year BS Biotechnology student at Virtual University of Pakistan, based in a small village in district Attock. My wet lab background comes from my final-year research project on the domestic yaks from northern Pakistan — DNA extraction from whole blood, NanoDrop quantification, PCR, and gel electrophoresis. Alongside that I am learning bioinformatics, AI-assisted protein structure prediction, and computational design of therapeutics.Hugoenhttps://pages.htgaa.org/2026b/sami-ur-rehman/week-01-hw-project-ideas/index.htmlMon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000https://pages.htgaa.org/2026b/sami-ur-rehman/week-01-hw-project-ideas/index.htmlOn-Demand Cell-Free Manufacture of Recombinant Hirudin Replacing an animal-derived, geographically concentrated anticoagulant with a synthetic, distributable one 1. What I want to biomanufacture, and why I want to biomanufacture recombinant hirudin — specifically [Leu1, Thr2]-63-desulfohirudin, the molecule marketed as lepirudin — a 65-amino-acid direct thrombin inhibitor originally isolated from the salivary glands of the medicinal leech Hirudo medicinalis.https://pages.htgaa.org/2026b/sami-ur-rehman/final-project/index.htmlMon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000https://pages.htgaa.org/2026b/sami-ur-rehman/final-project/index.html
