Biostatistician & Medical Research Expert

Profile Summary

I'm an IBM-certified Data Science Professional and Biostatistician with medical training from Dow University of Health Sciences. Over the past 4 years, I've co-authored 28+ peer-reviewed papers cited 80+ times in high-impact journals. As Head Research Analyst and Head Mentor at Research Council of Pakistan, I lead research training programs for medical students and early-career researchers. I specialize in applying advanced biostatistics and data science to healthcare research, with particular expertise in cardiology. I bridge the gap between medicine and statistics. That means I don't just analyze your data, I help you understand what it means clinically and how to present it in a way that makes sense to your audience.
