Yazdani prepares an experiment for his master's thesis, which is investigating the effects of a potential cancer vaccine his lab has developed on immune cell pH.

Biochemistry alum Omeed Yazdani ’24 earned his master’s degree in bioengineering from the UW in June 2025. 
Yazdani’s love of storytelling and medicine will take him to Columbia University this fall for medical school, where he plans to focus on narrative medicine. This intriguing discipline involves listening to and understanding patients’ stories, something that resonates with Yazdani personally. 
Meet Omeed, who was featured as an outstanding 2025 UW graduate in a story by Lincoln McElwee.
