I am a cancer biologist with 10-year experience in the field. I was appointed as Cancer and Cell Biology lecturer at the department of Biosciences and Chemistry, Sheffield Hallam University in 2021. I have more than 7-year experience in higher education; part of it was in United Arab Emirates, which gave me a wide experience in higher education and improved my inclusive practice in teaching. Additionally, I am a fellow in higher education, UK. Alongside my teaching, my research focuses on studying cell signalling in cancer and finding the link between the metabolic diseases and cancer.

After completing my medical degree, I pursued a career path in research and academia. I obtained my PhD degree from University of Leicester, UK. I was then appointed as research associate at the Department of Biochemistry, University of Cambridge, UK. I joined University of Sharjah, UAE, as assistant professor of Biochemistry. I taught medical biochemistry and cancer biology. I organised “We speak Science” event to foster the staff research collaboration and founded “The Researchers Club” for early career researchers. Beside these, I was awarded two targeted grants from the University and one grant from Al Jalila foundation, Dubai, UAE. 

To keep my networks active, I am a member in different international and national bodies. I am ambassador for European association for cancer research, and a member in Organization for Women in Science for the Developing World, Royal Society of Biology.
