  • Prof. Tim Ravasi  -​ reserch interests include developing large-scale, computer-aided models of biological signaling, transcription regulatory networks, and regulatory pathways. He applies new experimental strategies and statistical frameworks with the aim to integrate, model, and visualize the enormous amount of measurements derived from genome-wide experiments, such as ultra-high-throughput DNA and RNA sequencing, proteins and mRNAs expression, and protein-protein interactions arising in the wake of Genome Projects.
     
  • ​​Prof Jasmeen Merzaban-  research interests focus on understanding and optimizing the mechanism by which immune and stem cells exit the blood circulation to "home" to specific sites within the body. This process is mediated by sophisticated and coordinated steps controlled by multiple signaling and adhesion molecules, with key players being the selectins.
     
  • Prof Khaled Salama -research interests cover a variety of interdisciplinary aspects of electronic circuit design and semiconductors' fabrication. He is engaged in developing devices, circuits, systems, and algorithms to enable inexpensive analytical platforms for a variety of industrial, environmental, and biomedical applications. Recently he has been working on neuromorphic circuits for brain emulation.
     
  • Prof. Muhammad Hussain-​  research is in transformational electronics and includes discovering new applications for web integrated electronics using CMOS compatible processes to transform materials, device architectures, substrates, waste materials into impactful resources including high-performance flexible-stretchable-transparent-reconfigurable inorganic nanoelectronics and nanoelectronic systems.
     
  •  Prof. Aurelien Manchon​ -research focuses on spintronics, which aims at utilizing the quantum spin degree of freedom of the carrier to generate disruptive solutions for electronics such as, but not limited to, magnetic random access memories and programmable logic. His research interest spans from spin-orbit coupled transport and topological matter to chiral magnetism, antiferromagnets and ultrafast spin dynamics.  
     
  • Prof. Carlos M. Duarte​- world-wide leader in multiple branches of biological oceanography and marine ecology. He established himself very early in his career as the world-wide leading authority on the ecology of seagrass meadows. He published on all aspects of seagrass ecology, from population biology to genetics, from depth and geographical distribution patterns to their role in biogeochemical cycles, and from conservation strategies to their sensitivity towards climate change.​
     
  • Prof. Enzo Di Fabrizio ​-onducts interdisciplinary research between physics and biology and nanomedicine that includes basic and applied research in nanotechnology. At KAUST, he is dedicated to setting up a new lab for molecular sensing and imaging. His main interests concern the study of material and macromolecules at nanoscale and their structure and function through novel spectroscopy approaches mediated by nanostructures.
