Designing biomaterials to carry, protect, and deliver therapeutics.
With over eight years of laboratory experience in analytical chemistry, biomaterial synthesis, drug delivery, and in vitro biological evaluation. Skilled in SOP development, analytical method validation, data analysis, and statistical workflows.
Polymer and peptide-based biomaterials for biomedical applications, including antimicrobial therapies, chemotherapeutic drug delivery, immunotherapy, and cryopreservation.
In collaboration with UPEI, providing analytical support for process development and research on tunicate-derived nanocrystalline cellulose and proteins. Expertise includes HPLC, LC-MS, FTIR, and DLS, with a focus on material characterization, analytical validation, and process feasibility.
Developed a novel self-assembling peptide with immunomodulatory activity, forming functional architectures with potential applications in immunotherapy and drug encapsulation.
Author/co-author of 19 peer-reviewed publications in journals including International Journal of Pharmaceutics, Journal of Medicinal Chemistry, Journal of Materials Chemistry, Pharmaceuticals, and European Polymer Journal.
Peptide-decorated, self-assembled particles that carry a drug to the cell that needs it.
Cryoprotectants that suppress ice damage so cell populations thrive after thawing.
RAFT-built architectures with self-assembly and immunomodulatory function.
I was raised and educated in the Kingdom of Bahrain, where I completed my primary and secondary schooling and my engineering degree. Bahrain has been an integral part of my personal and professional journey, shaping my values, perspectives, and approach to life and work.
Growing up and receiving my education in Bahrain has given me a deep appreciation for the country's multicultural environment, strong sense of community, and commitment to progress and development. Renowned for its rich cultural heritage, welcoming and diverse society, and dynamic economy, the Kingdom is distinguished by its commitment to providing high-quality education and healthcare services to both its citizens and residents. I am proud to consider Bahrain an important part of my identity and formative journey.
