I am a postdoctoral associate in microbiology and immunology at Weill Cornell Medicine-Qatar. I completed both my master's and PhD degrees in the Biological and Environmental Science department at Qatar University, where I also earned my bachelor's degree in biomedical science. I graduated with distinction from the PhD program, focusing on bioremediation and nanotechnology applications in treating oil and gas wastewater. With over eight years of experience in microbiology, I spent four years working in clinical microbiology at Hamad Hospital and another four years conducting research in environmental microbiology at ExxonMobil Research Center. I have published several papers in the fields of bioremediation and nanotechnology. Currently, my research investigates the impact of climate change on human health, particularly infectious and vector-borne diseases. I am also exploring environmental bacteria for antibiotic discovery to address the challenge of antimicrobial resistance.
