Dr. Alaa Sawaied (PhD) recently graduated from the
Shraga Segal Department of Microbiology, Immunology, and Genetics at Ben-Gurion
University of the Negev, Beer-Sheva, Israel.
Her research focuses on male fertility, particularly the molecular and cellular
mechanisms underlying spermatogenesis.
She has published three papers:
