#kaustresearch unveils automated, open-source platform for rapid diagnosis & tracking #covid19 #virus variants. Ready for next pandemic & aiming at genetic disorder diagnosis too. Follow: @KAUST_SHI Mo Raik Grünberg Yingzi Zhang Read: discovery.kaust.edu.sa/en/article/238…

At ONT London Calling #10 presenting our ONT technology for solving Saudi Genetic diseases. Had a lovely chat in the Studio interview discussing challenges and opportunities for ONT sequencing in clinical genetics in Saudi Arabia and Gulf. #nanoporeconf KAUST Research Oxford Nanopore


Check out our NanoRanger poster #5(online #9) and see how you can resolve breakpoints at base resolution in complex genomic disorders. Whole workflow is done in 6 hours from DNA to results, ~$8/sample Oxford Nanopore #nanoporeconf KAUST Research


Our NanoRanger poster won the OXFORD Nanopore London Calling 2024 poster award 1st place! It’s a recognition of the great work my students have been doing Yingzi Zhang Chongwei thank you Oxford Nanopore community for voting for us! #nanoporeconf KAUST KAUST Research



Our translational work out Med by Cell Press We develop NanoRanger using Oxford Nanopore sequencing to diagnose Saudi genetic diseases Thx for the collab w/ Fowzan S Alkuraya مركز الأبحاث authors.elsevier.com/sd/article/S26… KAUST Research discovery.kaust.edu.sa/en/article/245…



Yingzi Zhang Fowzan S Alkuraya thanks for highlighting our translational work on Saudi genomic disorders!

Thx Oxford Nanopore for the highlight. My group has been developing nanopore sequencing technologies for the past 7 years. It has been an exciting ride Yingzi Zhang Fowzan S Alkuraya @KAUST_SHI KAUST Research

My KAUST team in collaboration with مستشفى الملك فيصل التخصصي ومركز الأبحاث team developed NanoRanger for effective molecular diagnosis of genetic disorders Joint Effort Saves Lives spa.gov.sa/link/WPYw #KFSH&RC #KAUST #NanoRanger via واس العام Fowzan S Alkuraya KAUST Research Yingzi Zhang Oxford Nanopore


my MD/PhD student Ismail Mohammed Shakir interviewed in Saudi @EKHNews_EN (الإخبارية) TV channel’s morning news about my laboratory’s long-read NanoRanger technology Med by Cell Press to solve challenging saudi genetic disease. KAUST Research Yingzi Zhang Fowzan S Alkuraya





Received our Mk1D! Oxford Nanopore KAUST Research ready for more long-read sequencing Yingzi Zhang



Attended the inaugural KCSH Conference—our PI presented our work on genomic & epigenetic instability! Besides, during my poster session, great chats with my colleagues Aisha Siddique Ismail Mohammed Shakir & external collaborators sparked a new project. Can’t wait to dive in!



Grateful to be part of this course — from TA to delivering lectures on practical considerations and bioinformatics in Nanopore sequencing. Thank you Mo for the continued mentorship, and to Oxford Nanopore & KAUST BESE for the strong support.
