About Me
Student | Researcher | Innovator
Hi, I'm Zehra 👋🏼.
I am a cellular and molecular biology student researcher at UT Southwestern with a specialization in longevity research. I am currently conducting research that involves an intersection of computational proteomics and wet lab experimentation.
I also assist in running multiple initiatives to strengthen education for students in Pakistan. As an integral part of several nonprofits, I work to increase the access underprivileged students in Pakistan have to higher education as well opportunities in STEM fields.
I have impacted over 150 students in Pakistan through all of my projects and I hope to continue these efforts further in the future. For my career goals, I plan to major in cellular and molecular biology and minor in data science so that I can further my research into a tangible product.
