Shayesteh was in research before she switched to teaching.
She started working with cells and then moved to larger organisms.
“Once I started working with rats, rabbits, and dogs, I started to not enjoy that at all,” Shayesteh said.

While Shayesteh found herself unable to continue research, many of her colleagues did continue, and she understands the importance of animal research.
