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.
