She obtained her PhD degree in Biological and Medical Engineering in first class honors with distinction at the University of Paris 13, Paris, France. She had her post-doctoral training at the School of Healthcare Science, Manchester Metropolitan University, Manchester, United Kingdom. During her PhD and first post-doctoral training, she established structure–function relationships of sulfated polysaccharides (extracted from brown seaweeds) endowed with anticoagulant, antithrombotic and pro-angiogenic properties. She ended up with an international patent. Since she has been at KAIMRC, her main research focus has concerned various medical fields related to cancer (lymphoma, leukemia, and breast cancer), diabetes complications enhancing the cancer risk, inflammatory disease (gastritis) and infectious diseases (MERS-CoV). Her main aim is to pinpoint cancer-specific biomarkers and to investigate the anticancer effects of phytochemical compounds. She has been active in research with 45 peer-reviewed publications and several research grants as a principal investigator and as a co-investigator. She has also co-supervised and supervised 10 MSc, 6 PhD students, and 1 postdoctoral fellow.
