Nada Mohamed Ibrahim Elsharkawy

Awarded the New York University Abu Dhabi's Summer Research Grant for 2023 to work on the Computational Genetic Research project titled "Unraveling the genetic history and population structure of the Persian Gulf." During this research, I had the privilege of working alongside Professor Aashish Jha, PhD, in a computational biology lab. My focus was on conducting in-depth research into the genetic makeup of the Persian Gulf population. Utilizing advanced computational methods and analysis techniques, I analyzed and interpreted large-scale genetic datasets to identify meaningful genetic patterns. This research endeavor aimed to enhance our understanding of the genetic diversity and population structure within the Persian Gulf region.
