Summary

Highly motivated Ph.D. candidate in Nanobiotechnology with a passion for revolutionizing drug delivery through innovative nanocarrier design. I leverage strong expertise in cell culture and molecular biology gained at the University of Birmingham and honed through research at three different nanopharmaceutics related labs in Islamabad, Lahore and Faisalabad under the Pakistan Atomic Energy Commission. I thrive in fast-paced research environments and excel at collaborative teamwork, as evidenced by my international research visit to United Kingdom. My Stanford-funded apprenticeship further enhanced my communication skills, making me an effective collaborator across international settings. Committed to advancing therapies, I'm eager to contribute my cutting-edge insights and dedication to a team on the forefront of nanobiotechnology research.
