About
Abdul Hakkim is a researcher specializing in high-throughput functional genomics, with a particular focus on RNA interference (RNAi) screening methodologies in the model organism *Caenorhabditis elegans*. His work addresses a critical challenge in modern genetics: the systematic and efficient execution of large-scale gene knockdown experiments. Hakkim has made notable contributions to the development and optimization of automated liquid RNAi screening platforms, enabling researchers to interrogate gene function at scale with greater precision and reproducibility. His 2018 publication on automated high-throughput liquid RNAi screening, which has garnered 7 citations, demonstrates the practical utility of using *E. coli*-expressed double-stranded RNA to silence *C. elegans* genes — a powerful reverse genetics approach. Complementing this work, his methodological contribution on plate design and cherry-picking strategies for bacterial RNAi clone libraries highlights his commitment to minimizing systematic errors in complex, multi-step robotic workflows. Together, these publications position Hakkim as a methodologist whose work enhances the reliability and scalability of functional genomic screens, providing valuable tools for the broader scientific community engaged in genetics and systems biology research.
