PHD CANCER PREVENTION, QUEEN MARY UNIVERSITY OF LONDON

I consider myself to be an inventor, having undertaken ground breaking research, discovering the substance in honey that inhibits the growth of breast cancer cells. I am also the founder of “The Amal Initiative”, a project to bring healing and hope to cancer patients. A particular highlight of my career thus far was receiving the Afrabia Afro-Arab Youth Award in 2015. I have previously graduated with a BSc in Biological Science from UAE University, completed an MSc in Chemical Pathology at University of Putra, Malaysia, and hold an MRes in Bioengineering from Imperial College London.
