Biomedicine represents the future of healthcare, aiming to intercept diseases before they arise and tailoring solutions to each individual's unique needs. It's not just about treating illnesses; it's about preventing them before they take root.

In the challenging socio-economic context of developing countries, knowledge should serve to solve the varied problems faced by our societies.

I want to be in the boardroom. I want to be part of the policy mechanism. I want my influence to go higher than the classroom.

In today’s scientific environment, in which most PhD scientists concentrate on a single specific discipline, I might shift toward a more systemic view to approach the challenge in infectious diseases.

After my postdoc, I will return to Syria and work to achieve my big dream, which is to establish a research center.

When I am seeing an impact, that’s what makes me as a scientist feel an achievement

OWSD has provided tremendous support in shaping my career as a researcher, science ambassador, role model for women scientists and a "think high" human being.

What fascinated me is that only 5% of microorganisms are harmful, and the rest are beneficiary.

“Am very proud to say that I am encouraging other Cameroonian female scientists to apply for the OWSD fellowship programme and some of them have obtained the grant."

“Ten to fifteen years from now, people, not only in Kenya but in the African continent, will switch to magnetic refrigeration”

Winning this award opened many doors for me. It has led to success in acquiring local funding.

Due to the war in Yemen, I had stopped studying for two years. This opportunity gave me the chance to complete my postgraduate studies.

" I can boldly declare that OWSD rewarded my brilliance thus giving me recognition and confidence in my professional arena and placed me in national and international scientific communities.”

I intend to disperse my achieved knowledge as one of the leading researchers in my country in the domain of microbial biotechnology, to support sustainable and prosperous agriculture.

You must first be safe to be able to think about the environment.

What has surprised me is the way technology is emerging and affecting the current state of research. We are encountering a fourth industrial revolution that entails advances in computing power, quantum computing and artificial intelligence, which has already been shown to alter the way we conduct research.

Just give me the seed and I will continue.

When you are following your passion, people will always see what you are doing. People will see that you are doing something different, and they will help you.

All this has broadened my knowledge for this domain of science, gave me an open mind and also allowed me to learn many things.

I desire to see my country, Nigeria, become a leading destination for impactful clinical studies.
