Amani Hariri hired by the University of British Columbia

Congratulations to Dr. Amani Hariri, who has been hired hired by the University of British Columbia. After finishing her undergraduate studies in Chemistry (@ AUB), Dr. Hariri moved in 2010 to Montreal to pursue her PhD in Chemistry/Materials Science at McGill University, with a research focus on DNA characterization at the single molecule level using fluorescence methodologies. In 2016, she started her Postdoctoral Fellowship at Stanford University in the lab of Prof. Tom Soh where she is currently an instructor, and where she is focused on the development of advanced biosensors for detecting biomolecules at low concentrations directly in complex environment with high sensitivity and specificity for the early detection and personalized treatment of diseases. Her primary goal is directed towards taking basic science closer to impacting human health. Trained at the cross-section of Chemistry, Engineering and Medicine, her research will be focused on designing novel materials and biosensors to build the “next generation” of monitoring and diagnostic technologies for early detection of diseases like Cancer and Parkinson.
