I am a research biologist and scientific writer with a Ph.D. in Analytical Biochemistry and Biotechnology from Hassan II University of Casablanca, where my doctoral work focused on developing nanomaterial-based electrochemical biosensors for early cancer diagnosis. My professional journey spans diverse experiences in academia, industry, and AI, combining hands-on laboratory work, technical writing, and collaborative international research.

My professional experience includes working as a Research Biologist with Outlier AI, where I assessed the factuality of biology-related AI outputs, crafted and answered domain-specific questions, and evaluated responses generated by AI models. As an independent researcher collaborating with Hassan II University and Old Dominion University, I have authored scientific reviews and a book chapter on innovative diagnostic tools and biosensors. Previously, I served as a scientific writer at Fi Group, where I produced technical reports on R&D projects in areas such as biology, chemistry, agroalimentary, and IT, while analyzing scientific literature and patents.

My achievements include 7 peer-reviewed publications (292 citations, h-index of 5), 22 presentations at international conferences, co-supervising graduate students, and organizing several scientific workshops and events, including the International Workshop on Biosensors and the Journées Pratiques Francophones de Sciences Analytiques. I have secured prestigious research funding, including the FP7-PEOPLE-2011-IRSES Scholarship and grants from Fondation Lalla Salma and ISESCO.

I am deeply involved in professional and volunteer activities, contributing to organizations like the Moroccan Association for Cancer Research and volunteering for events like the 9th Annual Women Building Bio Conference in Norfolk, VA. My technical skills span scientific writing, data analysis, quality management, and web content creation, with proficiency in software tools such as KaliSil, Mendeley, Prism, OriginLab, and Qualipro, and experience with web development on WordPress.

I am fluent in English and French, with native proficiency in Arabic, and passionate about bridging cutting-edge scientific research with practical applications in healthcare, especially in the fields of biosensors, cancer diagnostics, and personalized medicine.
