Farah has worked at the Wakarchuk lab to optimize a way to attach polysialic acid to the surface of human cells using bacterial enzymes that have been genetically modified to enhance their activity. Her project was part of a larger effort to improve neuronal stem cell integration into sites of the brain damaged by Parkinson's Disease. She graduated from Ryerson University with a Bachelor's degree in Biomedical Science, and is now working toward her Master of Teaching at the University of Toronto.
