        Working for Dr. Zuberi was an absolute delight.  He is incredibly creative, articulate, and methodical – he provided with immense support during the early years of my scientific career.  I am honored to know him as a mentor and friend. Nikhil Dhurandhar
      
          



            
              
        
              
  

    
        My extensive collaborations with Aamir include submission of several grant proposals, including on a grant funded by the American Diabetes Association.  The collaboration has resulted in abstracts and several publications are under preparation.  Aamir was extremely helpful in providing technical expertise and insight in many animal experiments we conducted. I particularly appreciated his active and dependable participation.  Most of all, I appreciated his in depth knowledge about various animal models and his advise about the selection of appropriate model for an experiment. Without a doubt, he is an outstanding collaborator.
