Completed my masters degree in Biomedical sciences with merit. During the course, I was fortunate to have worked under some renowned professors in the field of immunology and cancer research. The main research project was to examine the effects of chemical agents such as histamine, AEBSF, ß- glyyrrhetinic acid, and Imidazole on the proliferation of human leukemic myeloid cell lines. The study involved monitoring the proliferation rate of human cancer cells by adding various chemical agents at different concentrations, London Metropolitan University, London, and the U.K under the supervision of Prof. Jameel Inal.
