Dona SLEIMAN
After completing my BS in Biochemistry in Beirut, I pursued a master’s degree in Genetics followed by a Master 2 degree in Molecular Engineering. I received my PhD in Biochemistry and Biophysics in 2013 at Paris Descartes University with the highest honors & Committee Praise. Throughout my thesis and post-doctoral experience, I have studied different aspects of protein/nucleic acid interactions using several biophysical techniques.
