Mahreen Ul Hassan
Sheffield University
Biography
Mahreen’s research is to develop new strategies to identify the structure of virulence factors – usually proteins – present in MDR bacteria, which will help the development of new and more effective drugs to combat them. Medicines, often of poor quality in Pakistan , are frequently used excessively and are a major factor in an increase in multidrug resistance (MDR) in bacterial diseases - an issue that particularly impacts women. As a member of NAYS and Tanzeem-E-Khidmat-Khalaq Association, she participated in awareness campaigns on women education in different villages, so that they send their daughters /wives for higher education.
