Fatema Khatun

I am a Biomedical Science graduate with hands-on experience in microbiology, clinical sample processing, and laboratory safety. I specialize in preparing slides for microscopy, handling specimens such as urine, swabs, and blood, and supporting Biomedical Scientists in high-throughput environments. I am methodical, adaptable, and committed to maintaining quality standards and patient confidentiality. My goal is to contribute to efficient, accurate diagnostics in healthcare settings.

I am a Biomedical Science graduate with hands-on experience supporting microbiology labs and clinical environments. I specialize in specimen handling, slide preparation, and maintaining strict hygiene and safety protocols. I’ve worked with urine, swabs, and blood samples, ensuring accurate data entry and compliance with UKAS and COSHH standards.

I am confident working under pressure, supporting Biomedical Scientists, and adapting quickly to new procedures. My strengths include methodical organization, allergen awareness, and a strong understanding of food hygiene—especially relevant in childcare and school settings.

As part of my final-year project, I investigated the antimicrobial resistance patterns of Escherichia coli isolated, using disc diffusion and biochemical testing. This experience strengthened my skills in aseptic technique, data analysis, and interpreting microbiological results in a clinical context.

I hold a BSc in Biomedical Science, where I gained in-depth knowledge of microbiology, molecular biology, and clinical diagnostics. My coursework included practical lab training in aseptic techniques, sample processing, and analytical methods. I also completed modules in chemistry and computer science, enhancing my ability to interpret data and follow regulatory standards.

My final-year research project focused on antimicrobial resistance in E. coli , where I applied microbiological techniques to assess resistance profiles and discussed implications for public health and treatment strategies. This project deepened my understanding of clinical microbiology and reinforced my commitment to supporting accurate diagnostics in healthcare.
