Dr. Khushnooda Ramzan, PhD in molecular biology works as Scientist in the Department of Genetics, King Faisal Specialist Hospital and Research Centre, Riyadh. She got her PhD from the Punjab University; during which she discovered new genes for hearing loss. After her PhD, Dr. Ramzan joined the department of genetics at KFSHRC, and continued working mainly on the genetics of deafness in the Saudi population. Her research focus was to investigate the role of different genes in hearing loss within the Saudi families. So far, she has characterized and documented genetic basis of deafness in families of Saudi Arabian origin; their incidence and distribution were also documented
