Zaina holds a B.S. in Biological Engineering from MIT and is currently pursuing an MD-PhD at UCSF and UC Berkeley as a member of the Fletcher Lab. Her research focuses on developing low-cost, accessible diagnostics for neglected tropical diseases. Specifically, she is working on creating assays compatible with the NTDScope, the lab’s portable microscope, for diseases such as Loa Loa, Schistosomiasis, and Soil Transmitted Helminths. Outside of the lab, Zaina enjoys crocheting, working out, and exploring the Bay Area’s food scene. She is also a proud plant mom!
