Biography

I am currently finishing my undergraduate program in Genomic Sciences. I am a person that is very enthusiastic about doing science. I love learning new things of different fields to get a bigger aspect of the science I am doing. Although I am still young, I have demonstrated that with enough effort and love for what you do, everything is possible! Besides science, I am a very loyal person to the people I love. I also consider myself an easygoing person who loves to play sports, read books, and watch movies and series whenever I can!

Research Interests

My research interest at the STEMD laboratory at KAUST consists in dissecting the role of the histone demethylase KDM1B during early differentiation and in the pluripotency stage. For this, we employ various techniques of molecular biology, biochemistry, and newest methods like genome editing and Next Generation Sequencing methods along with the cell culture of one of the most complicated cells in the world!
