Mohsin Ali Nasir
I am Mohsin Ali, a doctoral graduate student at OU. I am doing research in plant cell wall and glycosyltransferases enzymes interactions computationally and experimentally.I completed my masters in Bioinformatics from Government College University Faislalabad, Pakistan. My professional ambition is to conduct research of my interest that intergrates both bioinformatics and molecular biology. I like to go to the gym and play football.

Samia Nawaz
I am Samia Nawaz from Pakistan. I have done my Masters in Bioinformatics. Currently, I am PhD student in Faik's lab. I am curious about how plants work at the molecular level, particularlly the role of lectins in plants cell wall. I aspire to pursue research aligned with my interests, which involves the seamless integration of both bioinformatics and molecular biology.
