Karim was an undergraduate student at Cambridge University and spent the summer of 1989 in the lab of Ron Laskey, studying DNA replication in frog egg extracts. He then did his PhD studies with Paul Nurse at the University of Oxford (1990-1993), before a one year period with Sergio Moreno in Salamanca as an EMBO post-doctoral fellow (1993-1994). Karim then spent two years back in Oxford with Stephen Kearsey (1995-1997) before joining John Diffley's lab at the Clare Hall research Laboratories in London (1997-2001). In 2001, Karim started his own lab at the Paterson Institute for Cancer Research in Manchester (now CRUK Manchester research institute), and in 2013 relocated his group to sunny Dundee, to join the MRC Protein Phosphorylation and Ubiquitylation Unit, in the School of Life Sciences. His lab studies the roles and regulation of the eukaryotic replisome in preserving genome integrity and epigenetics.
