Dr. Nadia Akawi is a member of the British Society for Genetic Medicine (BSGM) and a member of the Clinical Genetic Science (ACGS) .She has a significant publication record in international scientific journals, including Nature Genetics, Nature Communications, and Science. During the past years, she worked in UAE and UK on analyzing genomic data from thousands of families with children exhibiting severe, undiagnosed developmental disorders revealing underlying genetic abnormalities. Later on, her research expanded to analyzing more Omics data, such as genome-wide genotyping, metabolomics, and transcriptomics, to provide novel insights into the causes and predictors of cardiovascular diseases and to accompany metabolic risk factors (i.e., obesity, diabetes, and hypertension). Recently, Dr. Nadia Akawi returned to UAE University to become a faculty member in the Department of Genetics and Genomics at the College of Medicine and Health Sciences to apply her wealth of expertise in translational medical research to develop her research group and train enthusiastic students at the UAE University on how to deploy large-scale genomics and functional genomics to gain causal insights into the biological basis of human disease, identify new disease biomarkers and drug targets.
