Sabeeha Malek published papers
Sabeeha Malek, MIBTP Warwick 2019 student, has had two papers published as a result of her PhD research:
The first was a collaboration with external academics, and reviewed the Beighton Score and looked at its appropriateness for the diagnosis of Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS).
“The Beighton Score as a measure of generalised joint hypermobility” https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s00296-021-04832-4
The second was an extension of Sabeeha's 2nd mini-project with her supervisor Dr Darius Köster. This review led to the identification of a potential diagnostic biomarker for EDS.
“The Role of Cell Adhesion and Cytoskeleton Dynamics in the Pathogenesis of the Ehlers-Danlos Syndromes and Hypermobility Spectrum Disorders” https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fcell.2021.649082/full
Both papers were really well received and gained a lot of attention on social media. They are now in the top 5% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric!
