السيرة الذاتية

Dr. Aittaleb received his PhD in Biochemistry from the University of Liege in Belgium. His dissertation was on “molecular and structural adaptations to low temperatures of psychrophilic enzymes”.
As postdoctoral fellow at Florida State University’s Institute of Molecular Biophysics, he solved the crystal structure of tRNA methylation complex and demonstrated how snoRNA assemble into snoRNP to guide specific pre-tRNA methylation.

From 2004 to 2015, Dr. Aittaleb held different positions at the University of Michigan. As Howard Hughes Medical Institute Research Associate, he applied the biomolecular fluorescent complementation (BiFC) approach to investigate histone ubiquitylation and the role of poly-glutamine ataxin-3 in neurodegenerative Ataxia disease. Then, he worked as Senior Research Scientist at the Life Sciences Institute and Department of Pharmacology, where he studied the structure and spatiotemporal dynamics of G-protein regulated RhoGEFs. He then worked, as Research Investigator at Department of Molecular, Cellular and Developmental Biology, on the regulation and trafficking of postsynaptic scaffold proteins at the neuromuscular junction.

In 2015, Dr. Aittaleb moved to University of Cincinnati’s Vontz Institute and Brain Tumor Center as Senior Scientist. He was investigating Drug resistance to EGFR therapy and survival pathways of circulating tumor cells (CTCs) in the blood of glioblastoma metastatic patients.
