About Me
I am a Postdoctoral Clinical Research Fellow in the Department of Interventional Radiology at Brigham and Women's Hospital / Harvard Medical School, working under the mentorship of Dr. Yan Epelboym. I received my medical degree from King Edward Medical University, Pakistan, where I developed a strong foundation in clinical medicine and research.
My interest in Interventional Radiology was shaped through hands-on clinical exposure, particularly during my clinical electives at Washington University in St. Louis, where I participated in a wide range of image-guided procedures, including embolization and tumor ablation.
Currently, I am actively involved as a co-investigator and research coordinator in multiple clinical trials, including the ELECTRC embolization trial and the PCN trial. My work focuses on patient selection, procedural planning, angiographic interpretation, and longitudinal outcomes research.
My research interests are centered on musculoskeletal embolization, including genicular artery embolization (GAE) and shoulder artery embolization. I am particularly interested in optimizing patient selection and developing predictive models for better clinical outcomes.
I was drawn to Interventional Radiology because it uniquely combines procedural skill with longitudinal patient care. My interest is also driven by a strong curiosity for anatomy, pathology, physiology, and pharmacology — all deeply integrated in IR. I believe IR is continuously evolving in the era of AI and medicine, and as physicians, we must evolve alongside it.
I have professional proficiency in R and Python for data analysis and research, along with working knowledge of HTML for web development. Outside of work, I enjoy playing table tennis and follow cricket and soccer.
