Who I Am

About Me

I'm Shahab Sohani, an O-Level student at Karachi Grammar School โ€” one of Pakistan's most prestigious schools โ€” with an intense fascination for the human nervous system and the science behind how we think, feel, and move.

I've pursued hands-on medical experience early, interning at Shaukat Khanum Memorial Cancer Hospital and currently working at the National Institute of Child Health (NICH). These experiences have grounded my academic curiosity in real clinical realities.

My long-term goal is to become a neurosurgeon โ€” to combine rigorous scientific thinking with the direct, life-changing impact of surgery. Outside of medicine, I play piano, compete in basketball and football, and genuinely geek out over science.
