ABOUT NORA KASAR
As a dedicated Research Scientist at The Francis Crick Institute, I am immersed in the cutting-edge field of Systems Chemical Biology of Infection and Resistance, explicitly focusing on Mycobacterium tuberculosis and antimicrobial resistance. My role involves leveraging molecular microbiology techniques to address this critical challenge. I have also played a crucial role in COVID-19 sample processing and contributed to a B-cell receptor profiling project during my placement year at the University of Surrey. These experiences have honed my laboratory skills, including ELISAs and PBMC preps, and equipped me with adeptness in data analysis using tools like GraphPad Prism. My commitment to excellence is evident through my contribution as a named author to two research papers. Beyond the laboratory, I excel in organization, attention to detail, and effective time management, skills I refined during my degree and underscored by my participation in the Surrey STARS program. I have completed the FastFutures program, where I demonstrated traits of curiosity, resilience, determination, self-discipline, and emotional recognition. Collaborating on marketing-related business case solutions has further enriched my repertoire, exemplifying my multidisciplinary approach to scientific challenges.
