What I'm looking for

I seek a role in a dynamic laboratory environment where I can apply my skills and contribute to impactful research and quality control.

I am a dedicated microbiologist with a strong academic background and hands-on experience in clinical and pharmaceutical laboratory practices. My journey began with an M.Sc in Microbiology from the University of Karachi, where I graduated with first division honors. I have honed my skills in various laboratory settings, ensuring that all procedures align with company standards and client satisfaction.

During my tenure at GSK in Karachi, I served as a Project Trainee, where I performed rigorous product and raw material testing, monitored water systems, and maintained inventory logs. My role at Husaini Blood Bank further solidified my expertise, as I operated advanced diagnostic machines and conducted critical tests for blood screening. I take pride in my ability to prepare and execute SOPs, ensuring compliance and quality in all laboratory operations.
