Dr. Nael Alami

Dr. Nael Alami is a neuroscientist, educator, researcher, and university leader at the Modern University for Business and Science (MUBS) in Lebanon. His career has taken him from studying the human brain to helping students around the world access better educational opportunities.

Dr. Alami earned his doctorate in molecular neuroscience from The Ohio State University and conducted research at prestigious institutions, including St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, Harvard University, and Columbia University. His scientific work has focused on understanding how the brain and nervous system function, including research related to serious neurological diseases such as ALS.

Driven by a passion for education, Dr. Alami later studied educational leadership at Stanford University, where he explored how people learn, what motivates them, and how technology can connect classrooms across the globe. He also helped develop virtual exchange programs that allow students from different countries to collaborate, share perspectives, and challenge cultural stereotypes.

Through his work in neuroscience, education, and international collaboration, Dr. Alami encourages young people to remain curious, embrace new ideas, and recognize that learning and innovation have the power to change lives.
