Meet our Alumni

It is the basement of my professional life as a researcher. I started my career as a Research Assistant at NIFS back in 2004 and then I joined there to the same lab as a Research Fellow, after my PhD. I learnt research as well as administration, weaknesses and ethics from NIFS. It is the only place for basic research in the country.
