Hey! I’m Hasmiq 👋 Honestly, I know how confusing this journey can be. A few years ago, I was that student who had no idea where to find internships, which professors to email, how to write a good CV, what to put in an SOP, or whether I was even “good enough” for competitive research opportunities. I figured it out by applying, getting rejected, trying again, emailing professors, improving my applications, and learning from every opportunity along the way. Now I want to make that process easier for you. I’ve been fortunate to experience some incredible research opportunities — including international research experience at the University of Tokyo, a research internship at the National Institute of Immunology (NII), a fellowship/research experience at IIIT-Delhi through IASc-INSA-NASI SRFP, and other funded and competitive research opportunities. Along the way, I’ve worked in cancer biology, molecular biology, cell culture, microscopy, computational biology, and AI × biotechnology, contributed to published research, and presented my work at scientific platforms. So think of me as the senior I wish I had when I started. Whether you’re confused about internships, fellowships, CVs, SOPs, professor outreach, research projects, or simply “what the hell should I do next?” — ask me. No question is too basic. Let’s figure it out together. 🚀
