About

Graduating as the valedictorian of my class with a dual degree in Biotechnology from MSA University and the University of Greenwich, I bring a rigorous academic background, technical expertise, and a hands-on approach to advancing biotechnology and scientific discovery. Currently, as a Product Specialist in the Laboratory and Diagnostics Division at Ibn Rushd Medical & Scientific Equipment Co., I represent exclusive partnerships with leading global state-of-the-art manufacturers to advance research, diagnostics, healthcare, and scientific innovation across Kuwait. I oversee an exclusive portfolio of advanced instruments and systems, including Thermo Fisher Scientific CMD products (GC-MS, GC, LC, LC-MS, HPLC, UHPLC, Tandem Mass Spectrometry, ICP, IC, FTIR, Orbitrap), as well as Thermo Fisher Scientific LPD, Vibrational, Bulk Analysis, UV-Nano, EM, and Digital Science Divisions. Additionally, I oversee Nikon Japan & Singapore microscopes (Inverted, Stereo, Upright, Confocal), along with other premier brands such as Arctiko, Mast Group, Certest, Molecular Devices, Astell, BioScreen, FisherScientific, and Memmert. This collaboration enables me to deliver tailored, state-of-the-art solutions for laboratories, universities, hospitals, and research institutions, helping to elevate Kuwait’s scientific, healthcare, and diagnostic capabilities. Alongside my industry role, I am a published researcher in environmental science and biotechnology and serve as a scientific reviewer for esteemed journals like Heliyon and AMB EXPRESS. With expertise in molecular biology, genetic engineering, and bioinformatics, coupled with proficiency in key analytical software (NIS-Elements, TraceFinder, OMNIC Paradigm, Xcalibur, Chromeleon CDS, BioEdit, Cytoscape, SnapGene, and ImageJ), I’m adept at transforming complex data into actionable insights, fostering progress within the scientific community and beyond.
