MSC MOLECULAR AND CELLULAR MEDICINE, OXFORD

I am a medical student passionate about academic surgery, currently studying the genetics of elastic tissue disorders: diseases which commonly inflict patients I have seen in hospital.

I am on the committee of the Oxford Muslim Medics Society and hope to work closely with the Saïd Business School to develop as a MedTech entrepreneur. I have 17 publications in academic journals and 45 academic prizes and awards, including the BAPRAS John Barron Prize.

Previously, I have led the Exeter Surgical Society, was a BMA national student representative, and pioneered initiatives such as the National South West Plastic Surgery Conference and Exeter Charity Week. My leadership contributions led to me being awarded Exeter University’s ‘Student Leader of the Year’.
