Dr Shamsi holds a Master degree in Medical Parasitology and a PhD in Veterinary Parasitology which explains her passion in research into transmissible parasites between animals and humans and food safety. She has discovered more than 40 new parasite species and developed new protocols for detecting parasites in seafood.
