Welcome to my E-portfolio where you can learn more about my skills, experiences, awards, and certifications.
Khadija Safdar is a graduate student in Zoology from the University of Education, Lahore. Her studies focus on various biological research areas such as cellular and molecular mechanisms of disease, host-pathogen interaction, medical parasitology, genetics and physiology to decode fundamental disease mechanisms that informs diagnostic strategies and provide the framework for research to overcome complex biological challenges like cancer progression and multidrug resistance.
Her research interests are in translational biomedical science with a particular focus on developing new treatments. She is motivated to turn basic research on host-pathogen interactions into practical clinical solutions. She aims to specialize in sustainable drug discovery and gain industry-related research and development experience to address global health issues.
She has also demonstrated exceptional leadership qualities and has participated in extracurricular activities that have helped both students and the community over time. Khadija enjoys teaching and mentoring.
