Equipment 3

Equipment 4



Primary PI

Kourosh Salehi-Ashtiani

Kourosh Salehi-Ashtiani received his Ph.D. from Northwestern University (Evanston, IL, USA) in Cell and Molecular Biology. His group aims to define the metabolic potential of eukaryotic genomes and use this information to identify strategies for improving bioproduct production in algal systems, as well as to remediate metabolic perturbations associated with human disease states.


Secondary PIs

Yong-Ak Song

Rafael Song’s research and teaching interests are interdisciplinary in both mechanical engineering disciplines such as design and manufacturing of MEMS devices, fluid mechanics, and micro/nanofabrication, as well as in biological engineering areas such as BioMEMS devices for separation and detection of biomolecules, neuroprosthetic implants, and transport phenomena in biological systems.

Mazin Magzoub

Mazin Magzoub is a biophysicist specializing in the development of novel methods for the delivery of antitumor agents and therapeutics for amyloid diseases (e.g. Alzheimer’s and prion diseases). Prior to joining NYUAD, Dr. Magzoub was a postdoctoral scholar at the University of California, San Francisco, where he developed novel biophysical methods for measurement of macromolecule diffusion deep in tissues such as tumors and brain.


Instructors

Ibrahim Chehade

Ibrahim Chehade completed his Masters of Science degree in Integrative Biology at Wilfrid Laurier University specializing in the field of Environmental Toxicology and Endocrinology. Joining NYUAD in 2012, he has served as an Assistant Laboratory Instructor for the Foundations of Science Labs and courses in the Experimental Discovery in the Natural World. Currently, Ibrahim serves as an Associate Instructor of Biology, continuing his contribution and commitment to NYUAD to help build the excellence that is the hallmark of this university.

Ashley Isaac

As a kid Ashley wanted to do three things, be a rock star, travel the world, and be a scientist. He quickly learned that he was not talented enough to make it in the music industry and so began his journey to fulfill his remaining two dreams. After completing an Honours degree in Microbiology from the University of KwaZulu-Natal, Ashley took up a position at the HIV Prevention Research Unit where he served as the LIMS Administrator.
