Our mentors

Every task you submit at Researchette is reviewed by one of us. Here’s who we are, and what we’d like you to know before you start.

Zain Ramzan

Founder & lead mentor · MBBS
  • 50+ students mentored to publication
  • Reviewer for national and international journals
  • Currently mentoring a new batch
  • Focus: original articles, case reports, synopsis

When I started doing research as a medical student, nobody sat down and showed me how. I learnt by making almost every mistake there is.

Researchette is the guidance I wish I’d had: one clear step at a time, and someone who actually reads your work and tells you honestly what to fix. You don’t need to be a genius to publish. You need a good question, a little discipline and a mentor who cares. That’s what we’re here for.

Research can feel like a locked door when you’re starting out. It isn’t. Every paper begins with one simple question asked carefully, and everything after that is a method you can learn.

Bring me your curiosity and your questions, however small they seem. I’ll help you turn them into a study you’re proud to put your name on.

Dr Sobia Ramzan

Senior mentor · PhD Biochemistry · Oncology
  • PhD in Biochemistry, specialising in oncology
  • Reviewer for national and international journals
  • Hundreds of research works
  • Many students mentored through theses and publications
  • Focus: basic sciences, oncology, thesis writing

Good research is careful research. In the lab, a small slip in method can change the whole result, and the same is true of every study you will write.

I will push you to be precise about your methods, honest about your data and clear in your writing. Those habits will stay with you long after your first paper is published.

Dr Alina

Mentor · MBBS · Radiology
  • MBBS
  • Resident in radiology at Huntsman Cancer Institute, USA

In radiology, the small details decide everything, and research is no different. Read carefully, write clearly and check your work twice.

Don’t wait until it feels perfect. Send it in, learn from the feedback and keep going. That’s how every good paper gets written, and I’m glad to be part of yours.
