Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolSari Sabban is an Assistant Professor at King Abdulaziz University with nine years of experience at the intersection of molecular biology and AI, focusing on machine learning–driven protein design, biomolecular simulations, and computational drug and vaccine discovery. Her work spans academia and international research visits—including Fulbright-supported training at Duke and collaborative stints at EPFL, Bristol, and Wageningen—where she developed deep expertise in Rosetta/PyRosetta, reinforcement learning for therapeutic proteins, and Fold‑From‑Loop design. She founded biotech startup Alixir and several science outreach initiatives (The Science Society, T3rfDe, ILM.FM), demonstrating rare fluency in translating complex science for both industry and the public. Sari combines hands-on wet-lab training (CRISPR, stem cell culture, BSL‑3 protocols) with advanced computational methods, allowing her to bridge experimental and in silico workflows effectively. Her profile reflects a pragmatic entrepreneur-academic mindset: building labs and startups while publishing and collaborating across leading labs to accelerate translational bioinformatics.
