About me

Hoor Shumail was born in Peshawar, the capital of the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KPK) province of Pakistan. She grew up, attended school and started her academic career in Peshawar.

After successfully graduating from high school, Hoor joined University of Peshawar where she received a BSc (Hons) in Microbiology. In 2015 she gained an MPhil in Microbiology (With Distinction) from Khyber Medical University, Peshawar. Since 2016 she has been a Lecturer in the Department of Microbiology of Women University Mardan.
I have been involved in many research projects such as: characterization of silver nanoparticles to study their antibacterial potential, Allelopathy, Antimicrobial activity, Leishmania biology - its culturing and maintenance, in-silico studies of non-structural proteins of Congo virus, and in-depth analysis of envelope proteins of HCV. I have been to Turkey in 2017 where I presented my research article in a conference held at Selcuk University. I keep updating my knowledge and skills through participation in seminars, training workshops, and conferences.
