Education and career
She received her PhD the UK's Salford University in 1990 before returning to Jordan to work at Yarmouk University initially as an Assistant Professor before becoming an Associate Professor.[2]
She is a specialist in leishmania epidemiology and in 1997 worked on vector-borne diseases at the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID)[1][3] during a sabbatical from Yarmouk University.[2] She took a job NIAID in 2000, working in their Vector Molecular Biology section.[2]
She is the co-Editor-in-Chief of PLOS Neglected Tropical Diseases academic journal.[1]
