I was born and raised in the City of Lights - Karachi, Pakistan. I completed my medical degree at Jinnah Sindh Medical University. I feel delighted to be a part of Ohio State University Pathology Program. Moreover, I am keen to explore and learn effectively in the beautiful city of Columbus, Ohio. My interests are widely rooted in Pathology and take in hematopathology as a major field; but I am still on the way of deciding my exact path. My casual interests include cooking and exploring new things.
I am originally from Turkey. I completed my medical school at the Hacettepe University in Turkey. I moved to the US in 2018. I attended the Neuropathology Department of The OSU as a researcher after taking my step exams. This allowed me to know the innovation and developments in the field of pathology which is so exciting to me. In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with my family, playing ping-pong, watching animations, and coding. I am very excited to be a resident here and start my pathology career at The OSU.
I was born and raised in Kashmir where I completed my medical school and a residency in Anatomic Pathology. In 2017, I moved to the United States as a Visiting Research Scientist at Yale University. I stayed on at Yale to finish my post-doctoral research fellowship, focusing on translational cancer research, biomarker discovery and quantitative approaches to predict response to therapy. When I interviewed at OSU, I was highly impressed by the progressive approaches to Pathology, with an emphasis on Digital Pathology. A nice walk with a friend, soul-stirring meaningful conversations, “Sufi music,” evocative poetry, and a good book to read are some of the things that help me unwind.
I grew up in Sylvania, Ohio, and attended The Ohio State University to earn my undergraduate degree in health sciences. I completed medical school in Athens, Ohio, at Ohio University Heritage College of Osteopathic Medicine. I am extremely excited to be back in Columbus to complete my pathology residency at OSU. Go Bucks! Columbus is where I learned to love myself and found a community, I consider to be my family. My favorite spots in Columbus include the Short North, Scioto Riverfront, and the North Market. Outside of work I like to listen to audiobooks, hangout with my friends, compete in multiple Stonewall sports leagues, travel, and work out.
I grew up in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, where I completed my undergraduate training in biological and physical sciences. I continued on to a Master’s degree at the University of Alberta in the Department of Laboratory Medicine and Pathology, where I studied antibody mediated rejection of kidney transplants using mouse models. I then joined the DO-PhD combined degree program at Michigan State University in the College of Osteopathic Medicine and the Department of Physiology. This culminated to my dissertation entitled “Enteric Glial Modulation of Immune Activation During Inflammatory Stress”. I’m interested in immunology / inflammation research, along with the developments of digital pathology and AI image analysis. OSU is an excellent place to be trained in those areas, and I’m excited for the start of residency and the upcoming years! In my free time, I enjoy photo- & videography, video / board games, and hanging out with my pets (corgi, calico cat, two holland lop rabbits, and coral / saltwater fish).
I was born and raised in India where I completed my medical school and residency in Anatomic Pathology. The splendour of pathology lies in how an early diagnosis can considerably alter the disease outcome, which drives my passion for this branch. The decision to move to the USA stems from my interest in learning and gaining expertise in advanced techniques like molecular pathology, and artificial intelligence in field of pathology. I am honoured and extremely excited to be a part of the Ohio State University Pathology program. In my free time I enjoy gardening, cooking and spending time with my family.
I grew up in Dayton and have lived in Ohio my entire life. I obtained a Bachelor of Science in Chemistry at Ohio State. After working as a medical scribe and then as a chemist, I received my medical education at the University of Toledo. I also had the privilege of completing a year-long student “fellowship” in pathology at the University of Toledo following my third year of medical school. During this amazing experience, I explored multiple subspecialties within pathology, and I immediately fell in love with the field. I am thrilled to return to Ohio State and the city of Columbus for the next four years. My hobbies include singing (mainly to myself), playing video games, and reading science fiction and fantasy novels.
I am originally from Kent, Ohio and completed my undergraduate training with a bachelor's degree in Microbiology from Miami University, I then received a graduate degree in Osteopathic medicine from Ohio University. I am happy to have matched into OSU’s pathology program and for all the memories I will make here in Columbus. My histology interests include GI and embryology—I am also very interested in digital pathology and the rise of AI as an ancillary tool for interpretation. When I am home, I enjoy woodworking and amateur entomology and spending time with my wife and young son.
I spent my early childhood in Puerto Rico after which I moved to St. Cloud, Florida, when I was 10. I studied biochemistry at the University of Florida and medicine at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine in Chicago. I am very excited to start my pathology training at the Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center and spend the next four years living in Columbus. I am confident that OSU’s diverse case load, robust digital pathology initiative, and ample opportunities to explore my subspecialty interests including GI/Liver pathology make OSU an outstanding place to train. My hobbies include playing video games, fantasy tv, music (I look forward to seeing the OSU Marching Band live!) and working out.
I grew up in Ashland, Ohio, and have had the pleasure of calling Ohio my home ever since.
