Her supervisor, Professor Angus Lamond said, “I congratulate Yasmeen on her successful defence of her PhD thesis and thank her also on behalf of all of our colleagues, who are now routinely using the powerful PepTracker software that she has created, to help us to manage and analyse proteomicsdata. It has been great to work with Yasmeen and see how she could bring her skills in computing and ‘big data’ analysis to help develop cell biology research in exciting new directions
