Muneera Fayyad has earned her Bachelor’s degree in Biological Sciences from the American University of Sharjah in 2015 and her Master's degree in Biomedical and Biological Sciences from Hamad Bin Khalifa University in 2017. She is currently pursuing her PhD under the supervision of Prof. El-Agnaf and is working on developing and characterizing antibodies as research tools to study Parkinson’s disease and related disorders.

Her research interests include exploring the applications of monoclonal antibodies against different species of alpha-synuclein for Parkinson’s disease pathology. She is also interested in discovering and validating biomarkers for Parkinson’s disease and related disorders. 

  • Muneera’s research project focuses mainly on the development and characterization of monoclonal antibodies specific for Parkinson’s disease pathology.
  • These can be used as research tools to gain a deeper understanding of mechanisms underlying the pathology.
  • They can also be utilized to identify disease biomarkers for the development of sensitive diagnostic immunoassays for Parkinson’s disease and related disorders
