Working in a research lab as a PhD Scholar feels like riding a rollercoaster—a thrilling mix of highs and lows. There are days when that perfect fluorescence signal brightens not just your image but your smile and you are finally acquiring the data you have been chasing for weeks.
And then, there are the lows—the days when experiments refuse to work, when cells behave strangely, and the frustration of troubleshooting and repeating the experiments is (photo)bleaching your enthusiasm. Yet, amidst this chaos, I can feel the journey transforming me— learning how it is not just about experiments and generating data; it’s about how to navigate challenges, uncertainty and setbacks, and how to embrace failure as an essential part of growth.
Steering this roller coaster (partly), I am Shiza Nasir, doctoral candidate in MSCA Project Chrom_rare;
studying mechanisms underlying chromatinopathies, particularly how nuclear mechanics and chromatin organization contribute to pathogenesis.
