Yasmine is a Postdoctoral Research Associate in Dr. Arthur Grossman’s laboratory. Her research focuses on developing machine learning models to identify and predict mitochondrial and chloroplast dual-targeted proteins in photosynthetic organisms, advancing our understanding of organelle protein targeting.

She earned her Ph.D. in Electrical and Computer Engineering from the University of Pittsburgh in Pennsylvania, where she developed computational tools, namely CLARINET and ACCORDION, to automate the construction of dynamic biological network models from scientific literature. Her work on modeling interactions between colon cancer cells and macrophages was published in Cancer Immunology Research and featured on the journal’s cover.

Yasmine holds B.Sc. and M.Sc. degrees in Biomedical Engineering from Cairo University and Nile University in Egypt. Her broader research interests include systems biology, network science, and artificial intelligence for studying complex biological systems.
