I earned my Ph.D. in Biochemistry from State University of New York at Buffalo, and received postdoctoral training in Microbiology from University of Colorado Denver School of Medicine. My work experience spanning Ph.D. and postdoctoral studies equipped me with skills of identifying crucial research needs and solving problems creatively. My career aspiration now is to inspire and enable young learners to become innovative and changemaking leaders. Currently, I conceive, build and implement mentorship programs aimed to enable undergraduate students to develop passion towards scientific research careers.
