Durdanah Jahan
PhD candidate
My name is Durdanah Jahan, and I am a PhD student at the Instituto de Parasitología y Biomedicina López-Neyra (IPBLN) in Granada, Spain. I am originally from Kashmir, India.
I completed my Master’s degree (M2) at Université d’Évry Paris-Saclay, and prior to that I obtained an integrated BSc–MSc in Biotechnology from the Central University of Kashmir, India.
My current research focuses on mapping nanoscale interactions between glycosaminoglycans and mineral precursors during bone formation, particularly in the context of Osteogenesis Imperfecta. Through this work, I aim to better understand how extracellular matrix components regulate mineralization processes and how their alterations contribute to pathological bone fragility.
