Testimonials

Even though I’m not from a biological science background, the faculty of CHLS have helped me learn, discover, navigate and successfully complete my Master’s in Genomics and Precision Medicine. Their perseverance, dedication, and most essentially their willingness to guide and assist students individually has helped keep us going!

Zeenath Safira

PhD in Genomics and Precision Medicine, CHLS

This is my second year as a master’s student in the Biological and Biomedical Sciences program. Throughout these two years, I have learned and gained a lot of experience and skills. I had the opportunity to gain exposure to various aspects of the biomedical field, thanks to our college’s continuous expansion. Not to mention that the staff and members of CHLS are helpful, understanding, and giving. The least I can do is to thank CHLS for giving me the opportunity to be part of their community.
