 Mahwish Hafeez, '10, is weighing her options for medical school. D. Trumpie photo. Mahwish Hafeez, '10, arrived on the Albion College campus as a biology major who was interested in pursuing a career as a physician. Her passion for medicine has not waned, but because the outstanding science facilities at Albion have opened the door to incredible off-campus opportunities, her focus has shifted toward research.
Hafeez calls Rochester Hills home, but she spent this past summer in Louisville, Ky., where she worked with Dr. Keith Davis, '79, the executive director of the Owensboro Cancer Research Program. Her project was to purify a therapeutic antibody from transgenic tobacco plants and analyze it for specific binding to the anti-Lewis Y receptor normally over-expressed on cancer cell surfaces.
