Zeenath Safira
PhD in Genomics and Precision Medicine, CHLSThis is my second year as a master’s student in the Biological and Biomedical Sciences program. Throughout these two years, I have learned and gained a lot of experience and skills. I had the opportunity to gain exposure to various aspects of the biomedical field, thanks to our college’s continuous expansion. Not to mention that the staff and members of CHLS are helpful, understanding, and giving. The least I can do is to thank CHLS for giving me the opportunity to be part of their community.
