Research Coordinator
PATHWEL Center of Hematology and Bone Marrow Transplant, Pakistan
Husnain Ali holds a BSc (Distinction) in Medical Laboratory Technology with a specialization in Molecular Biology and Cytogenetics. He currently serves as the Research Coordinator and Primary Data Manager at the PATHWEL Center of Hematology & Bone Marrow Transplant in Rawalpindi, Pakistan, a non-profit organization specializing in molecular diagnosis and stem cell transplants for blood disorders. In his role, he develops and implements research protocols, co-leads research projects for clinical hematology residents, manages the Center for International Blood and Marrow Transplant Research (CIBMTR) data, and ensures adherence to Good Laboratory Practice (GLP) standards. Mr. Ali’s scientific interests are primarily focused on the molecular and genomic pathology of blood disorders, with a secondary focus on regenerative medicine. He is passionate about advancing cancer theranostics by harnessing the potential of AI/ML and liquid biopsy biomarkers. His research aims include developing diagnostic platforms by analyzing circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA), microRNAs, and exosomes for the early detection of hematologic neoplasms. Furthermore, he investigates how these biomarkers can be used for assessing treatment response and predicting disease relapse following hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, aiming to create predictive models for personalized patient surveillance and early intervention. A Junior Member of the Genetics Subdivision Leadership at the Association for Molecular Pathology, Mr. Ali is dedicated to bridging research and clinical practice. He plans to pursue an MSc and a PhD in genomic and precision medicine. His long-term ambition is to attain a professorship and establish a national-level cancer registry and research center to develop novel diagnostics and regenerative therapies in Pakistan.
