About me
My passion in genetic research started when I attended genetics and evolution classes during my undergrad study. I was fascinated how genetic codes work and have huge effects on our life. I love challenges. Working in scientific field, you have to face challenges almost everyday. Dr. Zamani's group consists of young energetic researchers. There are a lot of new ideas, knowledge and challenges. Joining his group stimulates me to stay active in science, involve in innovation and be challenged.

Personal touch
In my free time, when the weather is nice, I enjoy going for a walk, or for a hike in the nature. Taking pictures of the beautiful nature and capturing memorable moment give me energy and peace. When I am at home, I work on my creativity by trying new cooking and baking recipes. A healthy lifestyle has many benefits not only for the body but also for the mind. I work out regularly at the fitness and join Bootcamp or HIIT training with my family. I also work as volunteer at “special in moving” organization stimulating adult with intellectual disability to exercise.
