Dr. Amal Robay

Biography

Amal Robay is an Assistant Professor at Weill Cornell Medicine-Qatar, specializing in Genetic Medicine. Her research primarily focuses on understanding the genetic underpinnings of various diseases, particularly those affecting the Middle Eastern population. Dr. Robay has been involved in multiple studies assessing the molecular mechanisms of conditions such as Type 2 Diabetes, diabetic neuropathy, and other metabolic disorders. She has contributed to the literature with numerous publications, investigating topics ranging from the influence of genetic variants on disease susceptibility to the role of epigenetic modifications in disease progression. Robay's collaborative projects include investigations into the interactions of long non-coding RNAs and their effects on gene expression pathways in monocytes of individuals with Type 2 diabetes. Her work aims to enhance the understanding of genetic disorders within the Qatari population and to pave the way for precision medicine initiatives in the region. Holding a master's degree from the University of Nantes, she has developed a robust expertise in molecular genetics, contributing her knowledge to both academic and clinical research arenas.
