ABBOTTABAD: Umair Masood, a 21-year-old student, has won Young Scientist Award 2021 at an international conference featuring students from 121 countries around the world. Masood achieved this milestone for his contribution in the field of Molecular Diagnostic Techniques at the seventh annual conference held in Australia earlier this month. Masood presented two research papers at the International Conference on Molecular Biology and Biochemistry in Australia and the 13th International Conference on Tissue and Regenerative Medicine held virtually. Masood further said he was denied admission by several Pakistan-based universities for what he said was his low grades. The US embassy in Islamabad congratulated Masood for bagging the award.
