Education:
Mr. Waseem Ali achieved academic success throughout his educational journey. In 2011, he secured a First Division in the Matriculation examination from the C.B.S.E. Board, India, with a focus on Science. Continuing his impressive performance, he obtained a Second Division in the Higher Secondary examination in 2013 from the same board. In 2016, he graduated with a Second Division from C.C.S. University, Meerut, specializing in Biotechnology with a focus on molecular biology. His commitment to excellence was further demonstrated in 2018 when he completed his Post Graduation with a First Division from Jamia Hamdard, New Delhi, specializing in Biotechnology with a focus on molecular biology.
Experience:
Mr. Waseem Ali has held several positions in the field of Biotechnology and molecular biology. From 05-08-2022 to 29-12-2022, he served as a Project Assistant at Jamia Hamdard, where he contributed to a project aiming to decipher novel targets of M.tb pathogenesis that manipulate host defenses in compromised hosts. The identified targets may be utilized to develop anti-TB agents effective against drug-resistant isolates. His supervisor during this time was Dr. Javaid A Shaikh. Prior to this, from 15-01-2019 to 04-08-2022, Mr. Ali worked as a Project Assistant at Jamia Hamdard, focusing on determining the effect of FDA-approved drugs against M.tb. He evaluated the efficacy of selected drugs against M.tb in vitro and ex vivo, using molecular docking, simulation, and biophysical methods to predict their binding affinity and effect with target proteins. His supervisors during this period were Prof. S. E. Hasnain and Dr. Sonam Grover. Currently, since 04-01-2021, Mr. Ali is pursuing his Ph.D. at Jamia Hamdard under the guidance of Prof. S. E. Hasnain and Dr. Sonam Grover, focusing on research related to drug repurposing.
