I am a senior PhD student in Biochemistry under supervision of Dr. Tanya E. S. Dahms at the University of Regina, Canada with a strong academic foundation and hands-on research experience in medical microbiology and mycology and advanced microscopy. Currently, my doctoral research project is focused on human fungal pathogen Candida albicans, with aim of identifying plant-based essential oil compounds, especially phenolic monoterpenoids, as novel antifungals for patients suffering from invasive Candidiasis.
