Anum Mahmood

Biotechnology graduate (BS, Lahore College for Women University) with hands-on lab experience in dairy and fermented-food microbiology. Comfortable running PCR, DNA/RNA extraction, and microbial culturing end-to-end, then taking the resulting data through SPSS and GraphPad Prism to something a quality-control team can act on. Co-founded a fermented-food biotech concept that took 1st Position at Entrepreneurial Expo 3.0, showing this research holds up outside the lab too.

Looking for a QA/QC, R&D, or food-biotechnology role where that combination is useful.

Research Assistant, Dairy Biotechnology Research (Cheese Study) - Lahore College for Women University - Lahore

(2025-07 - 2026-07)

• Isolated and biochemically identified bacterial species from cheese samples under aseptic conditions to check microbial quality and safety.
• Ran DNA/RNA extraction, PCR, and gel electrophoresis to pin down which microbial contaminants were present and how.
• Tracked fermentation parameters (pH, temperature, microbial growth) against food-safety standards to catch contamination early.
• Turned raw experimental data into SPSS/GraphPad Prism visualizations that the Head of Department used for quality-control decisions.
• Handled experimental design, sample prep, and protocol development, and kept lab documentation SOP-compliant throughout.
