Dr. Dooa Arif

Dr. Dooa Arif is a biomedical researcher and science writer with a PhD in Nanoscience and Engineering and a research background in electrochemical biosensors, nanomaterials and diagnostic sensing technologies. Her work helps translate complex biomedical research into accessible, evidence-led health content.

Her doctoral work at the National University of Sciences and Technology focused on metal-organic-framework based electrochemical sensors for glucose detection. She also holds a master’s degree in Biomedical Science, where her work included antibacterial nanocomposite coatings for biomedical applications, and a bachelor’s degree in Biotechnology.

Dr. Arif’s research experience spans non-enzymatic glucose and dopamine sensing, smart hypoxia detection, functional nanocomposites, MOFs, point-of-care diagnostics, wearable and flexible bioelectronics, and laboratory methods including electrochemical analysis, microscopy, XRD and UV-Vis characterisation. That background gives her a practical understanding of how measurement technologies are developed, validated and communicated.

For mescreen™, Dr. Arif’s remit is content strategy, reviewing and editing: making sure mitochondrial-health, biomarker and diagnostics topics are explained accurately, in language that informed consumers can use.
