About Me

Asad is currently a fifth-year first-generation honors undergraduate at Drexel University studying chemistry with a concentration in biochemistry. He was introduced to research in his freshman year when he was given the honor to work in Dr. Wood's research group through the Maryanoff Scholarship. He continued to expand his research interests through the co-op system where he joined Dr. Xi's research group where he continues to do research now. He recently won the Dr. Robert O. Hutchins Endowed Chemistry Prize due to his contributions in research. Through the co-op system he was able to intern at Incyte and AmeriCorps which have developed his career goals and inspired him to apply for a Fulbright Student Study Grant to pursue a Master's in Translational Engineering and Medicine at the National Technical University of Athens.
