Dr. Saba Valadkhan is an Iranian-born Assistant Professor and RNA researcher at Case Western Reserve University. In 2005, she was awarded the GE / Science Magazine Young Scientist Award for her breakthrough in understanding the mechanism of spliceosomes - "akin to finding the Holy Grail of the splicing catalysis field" [1] - a critical area of research, given that "20 percent or 30 percent of all human genetic diseases are caused by mistakes that the spliceosome makes" [2]. Valadkhan qualified as a medical doctor in Iran, before moving to the United States to pursue postgrad study at Columbia University in New York.
