About us

Asab means is neuron in Arabic. Asab Middle East  vision is to help  establishing a world that is free from all neurological disease.


Asab Middle East mission is to help decreasing risk factors of neurological diseases and disorders through improving society awareness level about neurological health specifically  Arabic speaking community then society can take protective measures as required. Additionally we are aiming to provide information needed regarding care and treatment options so the patients and caregivers will have more clarity to give informed decision. We would like to contribute information sharing and provide update about recent researches  to improve quality of life for patients and support treatment research activities.

​

In addition to our work in neuroscience awareness, ASAB Middle East also supports STEM and STEAM education for children and youth, with a focus on fostering early curiosity about science, technology, engineering, the arts, and mathematics. We believe that engaging young minds in these fields especially in relation to brain health and human biology can build a more informed, innovative, and health-conscious future generation. Our outreach includes bilingual digital content, interactive learning activities, and initiatives that empower children, particularly in Arabic-speaking communities, to explore science with confidence and creativity.

​

Our  team is led by Dr. Aida Mohammedeid.  She is  PhD graduate from Sheffield University, UK, with a major in Neuroscience. She has an MSc in molecular medicine from Sheffield University, UK, and a BSc in laboratory medicine from Umm Al-Qura University, Saudi Arabia. After completion her PhD she continued her works in Luxembourg then UAE respectively.

​

Our team is specifically focusing to improve awareness for health brain and nervous system for Arabic society due to limitation of arabic resource for public access. We are providing scientific information and advices to avoid neurological diseases and disorders, provide update about new researches to improve visibility of treatment options for the patients. 

​

  • knowledge regarding risk factors then public can take protective measures as much as possible and change their lifestyle wherever it is possible 

  • Remove myths from the society so they will approach the issues more realistically with positive attitude 

  • provide information about facts, figures and encourage the society to put more resource for research activities  

  • provide information needed regarding care and treatment options so the patients and caregivers will have more clarity to give informed decision 

  • establish a communication platform among stakeholder (patients, carers, practitioners, researchers) to communicate, share experiences and support each other. 

​

In 2017 The International Brain Research Organization Global Advocacy Seed Grant is  awarded for the initiative and this enabled us efficiently promoting a reliable and easy to access resource for Arabic speakers regarding neurological disorders and up to date research literature in the neuroscience field.

🌱 STEM for Young People and Kids

At ASAB Middle East, we believe that curiosity is the root of discovery and STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) is where it begins. We’re dedicated to helping young people  from curious kids to ambitious teens —explore the world through science and technology. By making STEM fun, accessible, and meaningful, we aim to spark a lifelong love for learning.

​

🔬 Why STEM Matters

STEM is more than school subjects. It’s how we solve real-world problems, from climate change and health challenges to designing the technologies of tomorrow. By encouraging early engagement with STEM, we help build the critical thinkers, inventors, and innovators of the future.

​

🌍 Designed with the Region in Mind

Young minds across the Middle East are full of potential but not always given equal access to resources or role models in science and tech. Our content is crafted with local context, culture, and language in mind to help bridge this gap. We provide bilingual resources (Arabic and English) and focus on inclusive, regionally relevant content that connects with young learners and educators alike.

​

👧 Empowering Girls in STEM

We place a special focus on empowering girls to explore STEM. Representation matters and when girls see themselves reflected in science, they start to believe they belong there. We feature female scientists, share stories from the Arab world, and create spaces where young girls can dream big and build the skills to back it up.

​

🚀 Let’s Build the Future Together
