IBMS Intern

Mohammad Uzair

BS: Biotechnology at International Islamic University, Islamabad, Pakistan
MS: Lifesciences at King Fahd University of Petroleum and Minerals, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia


My research interest focuses on understanding how genes and regulatory factors within specific brain cell populations, particularly neurons, glia, and immune cells, interact as integrated molecular and cellular networks, and how these integrated signaling processes across brain regions shape neural processing, affective functions, and circuit-level computation in both health and disease.

​

Outside the lab:  I enjoy exploring nature, particularly waterfalls and natural landscapes, through long nature walks. I also enjoy cooking, trying new dishes, and spending time with cats. 

​

Places I've been to or I've lived in: Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Australia

International Internship Pilot Program Intern

Younes Kettani

BSc: Al Akhawayn University in Ifrane

I am curious about everything. I want to know how things work, why they are the way they are, how they became like that, and what we can do with them. I like asking questions, too many questions, that's how I learn.

 

My interests jump between science, technology, nature, animals, the human body, robotics, anything that makes me think: “Wait, how does this actually work?”

I enjoy learning by doing, building projects, solving puzzles, and exploring ideas that can become something useful in real life.

​

Outside the lab: I like discovering new places, meeting people from different backgrounds, hiking, spending time in nature, and learning about animals. I also like teaching, cooking, and discovering dishes from all around the world. I enjoy robotics, creating new things, solving complex problems, and finding out more about how the human body works.

​

Places I’ve been to: Morocco, Spain, France, Saudi Arabia, UAE, Turkey, South Korea, Japan, and Finally Taiwan
