Wasma A Abdelgadir

I have diverse experience in conducting and managing research projects and have worked as a researcher and lecturer in several institutes in my home country (Sudan): department of Biochemistry and molecular biology- Al Neelain University (teaching assistant, part-time 2011-2015), departments of Molecular Genetic and Bioinformatic- the Central Laboratory (researcher, 2013-2016), faculty of science and technology- Al Neelain University (lecturer, 2016-2019). In addition, I was one of the main collaborators of the Neurogenetics Research Team in Khartoum (Sudan) from 2017-2019. I contributed to raising community awareness of epilepsy as a disease rather than stigmatising affected families, raising awareness of consanguinity risk, investigating the genetic basis of various locally prevalent neurological disorders, and sorting epidemiological data
