Assistant Professor, Department of Genetics and Genomic, College of Medicine and Health
Science, United Arab Emirates University. Dr. Alblooshi is currently an assistant
professor in the Genetic and Genomics department in the United Arab Emirates University.
Dr Alblooshi is the director of the UAEU genomic Laboratory. She holds a PhD degree
in Medical and Forensic Sciences from the University of Western Australia. She completed
her Master degree and Postgraduate Diploma in Forensic Science from the University
of Western Australia. Dr. Alblooshi Completed her Bachelor degree in Science majoring
in Genetic and Anatomy from The University of Melbourne, Australia. Her research area
includes the molecular basis of Mendelian Disorders and Neuropsychiatric Genetic.
With her research work she hopes to provide new insights for the pathophysiology of
the disorder and improve the application of genetic technology in understating the
underling biology of the disease.
Anas Al Aidaros joined the Genetic and Genomic department in 2020. He obtained his
BSc. in Chemistry from the UAE University, College of Science in 2015. He worked as
quality control analyst at Ministry of Climate Change and Environment laboratories.
He joined UAEU chemistry department as research assistance in 2016. Al Aidaros also
