Zaina Nazeh Natur

Zaina currently works on research focused on identifying potential pathogenic mechanisms and biological factors that contribute to neurodegenerative and neurological diseases, with a particular focus on schizophrenia. Her work involves studying how different molecular and cellular processes may influence disease development and progression. In addition, Zaina is working on other projects related to drug delivery, exploring strategies to improve the effectiveness and targeting of therapeutic compounds.

Zaina's interest in neuroscience was sparked by the fact that many neurological and psychiatric disorders still have largely unknown underlying pathologies. Despite being physical diseases that affect the brain, many of these conditions are primarily diagnosed through behavioral or mental assessments rather than clear biological markers. This gap between the physical nature of the disease and our limited understanding of its molecular and cellular mechanisms fascinated her and motivated her to pursue research in this field.

Her goal is to help uncover the biological basis of neurological diseases and contribute to the development of more precise diagnostic tools and treatments.
