Media Khursheed Ismael

Media was awarded PhD in Bioinorganic chemistry from university of Birmingham under the supervision of Prof. James Tucker working on cancer therapy. Immediately after her PhD, she worked as a postdoc with him at the same university. Media attended tens of conferences and symposiums around the world as a speaker and poster presenter and won the poster prize in some of them. Media has 17 years of experience in teaching and academic researching and published many papers in high rank scientific journals. She joined knowledge university as a lecturer in College of Pharmacy teaching Theory and practical biochemistry.
