Yahya Khubrani
Yahya was trained at King Khalid University in Saudi Arabia, and undertook the MSc DNA Profiling at the University of Central Lancashire before joining us as a PhD student in October 2015, using conventional and next-generation DNA methods to study genetic diversity in Saudi Arabian populations. He graduated in January 2020, and is now an Honorary Visiting Fellow, and a Forensic Geneticist at the Saudi Forensic Service.
