Zeenat Qureshi Stroke Institute (ZQSI) is renowned for its high-quality research in the field of stroke and neurovascular disorders. I was lucky to be part of the ZQSI team under the supervision of Dr. Adnan I. Qureshi, MD. I was highly motivated to participate in volunteer research activities. I was involved in the following research projects.
