I did my B.S. Biology from the School of Science and Engineering at Lahore University of Management Sciences where I studied starvation-induced dietary behaviors in Drosophila melanogaster. I am a Ph.D. student in Biology and Biomedical Sciences program at Harvard Medical School. For my Ph.D. in the Perrimon Lab, I aim to elucidate the hormonal control of energy homeostasis. Specifically, I am interested in understanding how metabolic hormones regulate the lipolysis of lipid droplets in Drosophila fat tissue cells. For this, I am employing cell based CRISPR-Cas9 screening as well as proteomics approaches.
