I am a Ph.D. candidate in Biosciences and Biotechnology at Clarkson University in Potsdam, New York, with an anticipated graduation date of May, 2026. So far, I have maintained a strong academic record with a CGPA of 3.556. Alongside my Ph.D. studies, I completed a Master of Philosophy degree in Biosciences and Biotechnology at Clarkson University in December 2023. My academic journey began in Pakistan, where I earned a Master of Philosophy in Zoology from the University of Lahore in Sargodha and a Bachelor of Science in Zoology from the University of Punjab in Lahore. I also hold a Bachelor of Education with a major in Leadership and Management from Allama Iqbal Open University in Islamabad.

Throughout my academic journey, I gained valuable teaching experience. I have been serving as a Teaching Assistant at Clarkson University since January 2023, where I teach labs for courses such as Cellular & Molecular Biology and Inheritance, Evolution, and Diversity. Before this, I worked as a Research Assistant at Clarkson University and held lecturer positions at the Excellence Group of Colleges and Times Group of Colleges in Pakistan. In addition to teaching, I am actively involved in peer reviewing several renowned journals, including the Journal of Applied Research in Plant Sciences, Pakistan Journal of Biotechnology, and Annual Research & Review in Biology, among others. I remain steadfast in my commitment to uphold scientific integrity and contribute to the dissemination of knowledge through these activities.

My expertise spans a broad spectrum of biochemistry, proteomics, and cell and molecular biology methods. These include chromatography, spectrophotometry, protein extraction, immunoprecipitation, SDS-PAGE, fluorescence microscopy, confocal microscopy, PCR, gel electrophoresis, CRISPR/Cas9, and other related techniques. Additionally, I am proficient in various computer applications, especially MS Office. I have presented my research at several international conferences and meetings, covering topics such as the ecology and behavior of ring-necked pheasants, insecticide resistance in cockroaches and house flies, and the ethics of xenotransplantation. My research findings have been published in prestigious journals addressing a wide range of topics, including pesticide exposure, embryotoxicity, and cryopreservation techniques.

I have been privileged to receive accolades and scholarships such as the CUSABIO Biology Scholarship and the National Science and Technology Council (NSTC) international internship pilot program. Moreover, I am a devoted member of several professional organizations and clubs, including the Muslim Student Association (MSA) and Pakistan Student Association (PSA). My ambition is to progress the field of bioscience and biotechnology through my research, teaching, and community services. My scientific journey motivated me, and I am devoted to contributing to substantial advancements and education in this area.
