CV

Ashraful Abid is currently pursuing PhD at University of Hohenheim (Since April 2026) on metabolic labelling of complex microbial communities, applying SIP and bioorthogonal chemistry to study microbial activity.

He holds a Master’s in Frontiers in Chemistry (Organic, Biomolecular and Medicinal Chemistry) from Université Paris Cité, France(2024-25) and an MSc in Chemistry from the University of Siena, Italy(2021-24). His training includes Erasmus experience at Uppsala University (Sweden) and the University of Lisbon (Portugal), where he conducted his master’s thesis on bioactive nucleotide analogs.

He earned his Bachelor’s degree in Industrial Chemistry from Aligarh Muslim University, India(2018-21).

METAMIC3 - Metaproteome-based leveraged microbiome management in the context of One Health
People                            

This project aims to applying protein-labeling techniques such as protein-stable isotope probing (SIP) and click chemistry approaches such as bioorthogonal non-canonical amino acid tagging (BONCAT) for an enhanced identification of metabolic active microbes (WP3). We will apply these techniques to reconstruct metabolic networks in microbial communities originating from various environmental and organismal samples, identify the cellular response of single species, or simplify MOCK communities relevant to specific objectives described in WP1. This will reveal the influence of antimicrobial effectors in different microbiomes. In addition, the replication of phages triggered by microbe-phage interactions or environmental stress will be confirmed by BONCAT (in collaboration with AUAS).
