AAUP Faculty of Medicine Obtains the Membership at the International Association for Medical Education (AMEE)

The Arab American University declared that the Faculty of Medicine has obtained membership in the International Association for Medical Education (AMEE), located in Dundee, Scotland, United Kingdom. In this case, it is the first Faculty of Medicine in Palestine to obtain membership in this association. This association encompasses more than 90 Faculties of Medicine from different Countries of the world.

AMEE seeks to improve medical professions education around the world, develop teaching methods, support innovation in curriculum planning and teaching, and encourage research in the field of medical professions education.

A Research Team from the Faculty of Medicine at AAUP Publishes a Scientific Research on a Rare Genetic Disease in Palestine in the Peer-Reviewed Scientific Journal Frontiers in Genetics

A research team from the Faculty of Medicine at the Arab American University published a scientific research in the scientific journal Frontiers in Genetics, which is indexed Q2 in Scopus database, with an impact factor of 4.78.

The team included Dr. Imad Dweikat, a consultant pediatrician and metabolic diseases, and Dr. Reham Khalaf Nazzal, a researcher in human genomics and neuroscience. The study focused on the clinical results, the results of chemical analyses, and the genetic mutations that cause the rare genetic disease,

Hyperornithinemia, Hyperammonemia, and Homocitrullinuria Syndrome, according to the study, affects at least 200 patients worldwide.

AAUP Participates in an International Scientific Cooperation in which a New Gene Related to Brain Development and Genetic Disorders in Humans is Discovered

A joint study conducted by scientists from the Faculty of Medicine at the Arab American University (Jenin, Palestine), the Faculty of Medicine at the University of Exeter, UK, and Children's National Hospital (Columbus, USA) discovered that mutations in a gene that is responsible for a range of processes which are Vital for the formation of neurons and their access to the correct place in the embryonic stages cause a well-defined developmental disorder that include a distinctive appearance of the face, a small size of the head, a change in the surface of the brain, also known as lis

The scientific work, published in the American Journal of Human Genetics, describes the clinical outcomes of seven patients from five different families, all with mutations in the gene called calmodulin-regulated spectrin-associated protein 1 (CAMSAP1) which causes this rare genetic disease. The genetic alterations in CAMSAP1 lead to abnormalities in neuronal structural proteins, which have an important role in regulating neuronal division and movement during brain development.
