MRES VISION SCIENCES, CARDIFF UNIVERSITY

As a Junior Doctor, I have aspirations to dive deep into academia alongside my clinical commitments on the hospital floor. Having published clinical research, now, as an Aziz Scholar, I have the opportunity to pursue ground-breaking, translational research in my area of interest – Eyes and Sight. My research will look at rescuing vision loss in experimental glaucoma. I am involved with the British Islamic Medical Association (BIMA) Careers Team and also EyeHeroes, the UK’s first child-led campaign to fight avoidable blindness, as the Wales National Lead. In my free time, I like to teach, travel and play sports.
