Thanks to a collaboration that began in 2024 between ICTP and the Arab Fund, 12 scientists from the Middle East and Northern Africa have had the possibility to spend one-month visits at ICTP through its Associates Programme and bring a student with them. Four of them are the protagonists of the latest videos in the series “Science is Our Common Language”, which focusses on the experience of current and former ICTP Associates to highlight the impact that the programme has had on their lives and careers.
This month we publish the testimony of ICTP Arab Fund Associate Kamel Jebreen, an Associate Professor at the Palestine Technical University – Kandoorie, Palestine. He visited ICTP in 2025 alongside Eqbal Radwan, a PhD student at the University of Aix-Marseille, France, under his supervision.
Jebreen and Radwan apply machine learning and bioinformatics to health care, using data-driven strategies to improve decision-making in the public health sector. Meet them in this new video.
