riad.bayoumi@mbru.ac.ae +971 4 383 8701

Riad  Bayoumi was educated in Khartoum and the UK. He has made important contributions to human genetics research in the Sudan, UAE and Oman. In the study of genetic diseases he was instrumental in mapping of Joubert Syndrome, Hereditary Spastic Paraplegia and Multiple Epiphyseal Dysplasia. He is currently involved in the study of genetic susceptibility to obesity, diabetes mellitus and the evolution of lactase persistence among large extended Arab pedigrees.
