Summary

Proactive professor and researcher with 10+ years of experience teaching courses on undergraduate and postgraduate levels. I work as a head of bioinformatics at the center of medical genomics researchers in Jeddah. I am interested in exploiting data for furthering understanding of biological systems. My research programs can be broadly classified into; 1) deployment of computational approaches for the analysis, interpretation, and exploitation of large-scale biologically derived data, and 2) the development of computational tools and algorithms for the analysis of biological data.
