I’m a undergraduate studying Biochemistry and Molecular Biology and a dual masters student studying Biotechnology at Boston University. I’ve worked in various aspects of biochemistry throughout my undergraduate career working with nanoparticle chemistry and organic syntheses to creating transgenic cell lines for pharmacology studies. I have been working in the Saeed lab since 2022, helping out on projects centred around enterovirus protease activity and Sars-Cov-2 studies. I am excited to further my research career post-graduation through an Immunology graduate program!
