Dr. Besina Yasin is currently working as head of department in pathology at SKIMS. Her ultimate goal is to create a full-fledged tissue bank and bring more advanced pathology techniques to Kashmir. As a GCF scholar, she observed and learnt from highly skilled pathologists, how to develop a tissue bank based on US protocols, and learn the latest techniques. In Buffalo, she was an observer in the pathology department at Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Care Center where she was able to get hands on experience, learn about quality assurance, and take back lessons and ideas to implement back home.
