Yazeed Alfawaz

Yazeed was a undergraduate student in Chemical & Biomolecular Engineering department. He worked on understanding how membrane transporter transport substrates using an elevator-like mechanism. In particular, he was investigating the cyanobacterial bicarbonate transporter, which is involved in carbon-concentrating mechanisms to enhance carbon dioxide availability for photosynthesis. He joined the M. Phil program at University of Cambridge after graduating from University of Illinois.
