Zahida Sultanova is a post-doctoral research fellow at the University of East Anglia. She has taught undergraduate courses in both biology and physics. She combines evolutionary biology with other scientific fields to study ageing and life-history evolution across animals. Zahida earned her PhD in biodiversity and evolutionary biology at the University of Valencia (Spain) and has worked across fields ranging from molecular biology to behavioural ecology. Her postdoctoral work focuses on how biological systems respond to stressful conditions, including the cellular mechanisms that can protect organisms against radiation. She is also an active science communicator.
