What I'm looking for

I seek a collaborative environment that fosters innovation and supports research in immunology.

I am Dr. Khyber Shinwari, a dedicated immunologist with extensive experience in biological sciences, particularly in immunology and microbiology. My academic journey culminated in a Ph.D. from Ural Federal University, where I focused on novel gene variants related to inborn errors of immunity. My research has led to significant contributions in the field, including the development of vaccine candidates against multi-drug resistant Staphylococcus aureus.

Throughout my career, I have held various roles, including postdoctoral fellow and research engineer, where I designed experiments and supervised undergraduate research projects. My teaching experience spans multiple subjects, including immunology, microbiology, and bioinformatics, where I have trained students in laboratory techniques and research methodologies. I am passionate about fostering the next generation of scientists and contributing to advancements in immunological research.
