Zahra Kothawala

My name is Zahra Kothawala, I am a Final Year MBBS student at BJ Medical College,Pune, currently involved in two ongoing research projects in the fields of Community Medicine and Microbiology. My research interests primarily lie in oncology and Microbiology. Previously, I completed a research internship at the Indian Institute of Science (IISc) in the Department of Biochemistry, where I gained hands-on experience in DNA and RNA analysis. This experience further sparked my interest in exploring the intersection of clinical practice and biomedical research. Additionally, I have served as the Academic Secretary at my institute, where I contributed to organizing Research events and fostering a collaborative learning environment.
