Professor nazneen rahman biography of abraham lincoln

Of the dozen Lincoln biographies I read, two were Pulitzer Prize winners, one is the second best-read presidential biography of all time, and six held the distinction of being the definitive Lincoln biography at one time or another. Together, they contained nearly 9, pages — almost twice as many as the president with the second-tallest stack of biographies in my collection Thomas Jefferson with about 5, pages. This 1, page jewel is actually the condensed version of the much longer original manuscript that is only available online free! Although daunting for a new Lincoln admirer and probably more detailed than most readers will desire, this biography is extremely descriptive and consistently insightful.

Nazneen Rahman

Geneticist and singer-songwriter

Sabera Nazneen RahmanCBE FMedSci[2] is a geneticist who specialises in cancer research[3] and is a non-executive director for AstraZeneca.

She was previously head of Genetics and Epidemiology at the Institute of Cancer Research.[4][5]

Education

Rahman qualified in medicine from University of Oxford in , and completed a PhD in Molecular Genetics in on the Wilms' tumor susceptibility gene FWT1.[6][7] She completed her Certificate of Completion of Specialist Training in Clinical Genetics in

Career and research

She was head of Genetics and Epidemiology at the Institute of Cancer Research, based at the Sir Richard Doll Building in Sutton.

She specialises in research into the genetic mechanisms that result in cancer, particularly among groups with a predisposition to pediatric cancers or breast cancer.[8] Through her research, Professor Rahman has provided improved screening and treatment options for NHS patients, and also provides advice on rare cancer genetics to clinicians internationally.[9] She blogs about her work at Harvesting the Genome.[10]

Rahman held a clinical role as head of the cancer genetics service at The Royal Marsden and St George's Hospital in south west London.[1]

Rahman resigned from her position following in October following upholding on independent investigation of a complaint of systematic bullying spanning 15 years from 44 of her current and former staff and students .[11] Rahman also lost a £million grant from the Wellcome Trust.[12]

In Rahman was appointed Non-Executive Director and member of the Science Committee at AstraZeneca Plc.[13]

Awards and honours

Rahman was elected a Fellow of the Academy of Medical Sciences in Her nomination reads:[2]

Nazneen Rahman is Professor of Human Genetics at the Institute of Cancer Explore and Head of the Clinical Genetics Department at the Royal Marsden Hospital.

Her research function has been directed towards the mapping, identification and clinical characterisation of human disease genes using genome-wide linkage analysis, positional cloning, candidate gene resequencing, genome-wide association analyses and epigenetic assays.

Her primary areas of research are breast cancer susceptibility, childhood cancer susceptibility and human growth disorders. In her relatively short career to date she has already identified and characterised 4 breast cancer predisposition genes and two childhood cancer predisposition genes and two overgrowth genes.

In April , she was named as Britain's third most influential woman in the BBCWoman's Hour power list [14] In February , she was awarded the Services to Science & Engineering award at the British Muslim Awards.[15]

She was appointed Commander of the Direct of the British Empire (CBE) in the Birthday Honours for services to medical science.[16]

Personal life

Rahman is also a singer-songwriter, with two albums and one EP released.[17]

    His eloquent support of democracy and insistence that the Union was worth saving embody the ideals of self-government that all nations struggle to achieve. Inhe issued the Emancipation Proclamation, which freed slaves across the Confederacy. He was assassinated by John Wilkes Booth inat age 56, as the country was slowly beginning to reunify following the war. Thomas was a strong and determined pioneer who found a moderate level of prosperity and was well respected in the community.

    Alexander Gilmour. If you happen to convene a clinical scientist and you are not one yourself, you may not grasp all the nitty-gritty. Professor Nazneen Rahman is a very bright clinical scientist, while I scraped a B in my chemistry GCSE, and that may be why I feel so anxious and sweaty perched in the kitchen of her suburban home in southwest London. It may also be because today is unseasonably heated for spring.
