2020-2024

PhD Research Project- Biomedicine

My research project aimed to identify the epidemiological and clinical characteristics of nasopharyngeal carcinoma and characterize its molecular profile through proteomics and bioinformatics for the first time in Morocco and Africa. This study lays a foundation for mechanistic studies and identifies potential biomarkers that might improve the early diagnosis and therapeutic pathways of this type of cancer. 

2022-present

Committee member and mentor- ReachSci Society at Cambridge

Teaming up with PhDs from top universities, I help develop and design research programs for students and early career researchers, while also providing mentorship and high-quality training in scientific research.

2023-present

Mentor/Teacher- Lumiere Education

I mentor and teach at Lumiere by providing excellent students with personalized research programs to learn about the cutting-edge in their field of interest and produce an independent research project and scientific paper.

Welcome to my page

Ayman was accepted into the prestigious Fulbright program and would become the FIRST Fulbrighter from Morocco to study at Stanford. His work here created a proteomic foundation for nasopharyngeal carcinoma. I'm excited about how that foundation will be extended in coming years.
