نبذة

Genomics and precision medicine scientist with a PhD and more than 10 years of experience spanning molecular diagnostics, next-generation sequencing, variant interpretation, functional genomics, and translational research. Research portfolio includes childhood obesity, diabetes, endocrine disorders, rare disease genetics, and medically actionable genomic findings. Experienced in WES/WGS and targeted sequencing, ACMG-based variant interpretation, functional studies, CRISPR/Cas9, cAMP signaling, mammalian cell culture, and scientific evidence synthesis.

Author/co-author of 23 peer-reviewed publications, including first-author studies in early-onset obesity genetics and functional characterization of MC4R, ADCY3, and SIM1 variants.

الخبرة

Postdoctoral Fellow - Sidra Medicine, Human Genetics Department - Doha, Qatar

(2025-10)

Conduct translational human-genetics research focused on rare and complex disorders, including childhood obesity and endocrine disease.
Prioritize and interpret candidate genomic variants using population databases, in-silico prediction tools, ACMG evidence frameworks, phenotype-genotype correlation, and literature review.
Investigate obesity-associated genes and contribute to functional characterization of potentially disease-causing variants using molecular and cell-based approaches.
Integrate genomic, clinical, and experimental evidence in multidisciplinary research with clinicians, geneticists, and laboratory scientists.
Contribute to manuscripts, systematic reviews, research proposals, data interpretation, and scientific presentations.
