University-Level Genetics & Genomics Tutor | MSc Genetic Counseling

Completed pediatric clinical training at Sidra Medicine, working with infants and children referred for genetic evaluation. Observed cases involving developmental delay, intellectual disability, autism spectrum disorders, congenital anomalies, dysmorphic features, metabolic and mitochondrial disorders, neuromuscular diseases, and suspected hereditary hearing loss. Collected detailed prenatal, perinatal, and developmental histories and constructed pedigrees focused on early-onset and consanguineous patterns. Participated in discussions on differential diagnosis, genetic test selection (microarray, exome sequencing, metabolic panels), and variant interpretation. Gained practical experience explaining molecular mechanisms, inheritance patterns, and genotype–phenotype correlations in pediatric conditions—experience that I now use to help medical and health-science students understand complex genetic diseases in children.

Completed clinical training in adult, reproductive, prenatal, and cancer genetics clinics at HMC, working directly with real patient cases that require applied medical genetics. Gained hands-on experience with hereditary cancer syndromes (BRCA1/2, Lynch), neurogenetic and neuromuscular disorders, cardiogenetic conditions, endocrine genetic disorders, infertility genetics, carrier screening, and prenatal chromosomal and single-gene abnormalities. Routinely analyzed family histories and constructed pedigrees to identify inheritance patterns, recurrence risks, and gene–phenotype correlations. Participated in genetic test selection and interpretation, including NGS panels, exome-based tests, copy-number analyses, and prenatal screening/diagnostics. Provided patient-friendly explanations of complex genetic mechanisms, making me well-equipped to teach medical students how to understand genetics clinically, interpret results, and apply genetic principles in real-world scenarios.

Worked as a Research Assistant at Qatar University with a strong focus on scientific writing and research development. Contributed to and published up to eight papers in the fields of human genetics, medical genomics, and neuro-related disorders. Experienced in preparing manuscripts, structuring scientific arguments, conducting literature reviews, interpreting genetic data, and translating complex findings into clear academic writing. Supported multiple projects involving whole-genome and exome analysis, variant interpretation, and population genetics. I now teach students how to understand genetics through real research examples and guide them in scientific writing, manuscript preparation, and critical reading of genetic and biomedical literature.
