My major is Bioscience and I am interested in molecular genetics and bioinformatics. I grew up watching marine documentaries, and got fascinated especially by the beauty of corals. While I was a master student at KAUST I saw in detail what this institute could offer to study. Since KAUST is the only place in Saudi Arabia with a strong focus on marine life, I decided to join this program.

Currently, I joined Dr. Voolsta's lab to study the relationship between corals and microbes in detail.
