Tanzeela Alvi

I am Dr. Tanzeela Noreen Alvi, a passionate and dedicated researcher and academic professional with a strong background in molecular biology, cancer research, and virology. With extensive experience working as a Research Associate at the School of Biological Sciences, University of the Punjab, Lahore, I contributed to a groundbreaking HEC-funded project on the development of recombinant adenoviral vector vaccines against SARS-CoV-2 and its emerging variants.  Additionally, I have contributed to cutting-edge research in the Department of Dermatology, Venerology and Allergology at Universitätsklinikum, Wuerzburg, Germany, focusing on the investigation of cellular factors regulating viral T antigen expression in Merkel Cell Carcinoma cells. 

My expertise includes:

• Recombinant gene expression and protein expression analysis.
• Transfection, cell culture techniques, and tumor organoid 3D culturing.
• Molecular assays such as qPCR, gel electrophoresis, and immunoassays.
• Designing and executing in silico and in vitro studies for therapeutic drug analysis.

I am passionate about contributing to impactful research that bridges the gap between molecular science and clinical applications. My goal is to drive innovation in the field of oncology and infectious diseases while fostering a collaborative and educational environment in academia or research institutions.
