Assist. Prof. Dr. Fatima Alamri | organic chemisry | Best Researcher Award

University of Bisha | Saudi Arabia

Academic Background

Assist. Prof. Dr. Fatima Alamri earned her doctoral degree in organic chemistry at King Abdulaziz University, where her research centered on structure elucidation and biological activity of secondary metabolites isolated from Saudi Arabia’s terrestrial plants. She holds an MSc in organic chemistry, also from KAU, with a thesis focused on phytochemical studies of wild Saudi plant species, and completed her Bachelor of Science and Education at King Khalid University.

Research Focus

Assist. Prof. Dr. Fatima Alamri research broadly focuses on natural products chemistry and bioactive secondary metabolites from indigenous plant species, combining isolation, structure elucidation, and evaluation of pharmacological and antioxidant properties. She is also exploring green synthesis of metal or metal-oxide nanocomposites mediated by plant extracts and assessing their biological applications.

Work Experience

Assist. Prof. Dr. Fatima Alamri joined the University of Bisha as an assistant professor in the Department of Chemistry, where she teaches courses in organic chemistry, natural product chemistry, and principles of scientific research. She supervises undergraduate projects and field training. Prior to this, she served as lecturer at Bisha University (Al Namas campus) for a decade, teaching organic and natural product chemistry to science undergraduates. Earlier, during her doctoral and master’s years, she was a teaching assistant in the chemistry department at King Khalid University, primarily responsible for supervising laboratory practical classes.

Key Contributions

Assist. Prof. Dr. Fatima Alamri has contributed to advancing knowledge in natural product isolation, by characterizing bioactive lactones, sesquiterpenoids, and diterpenoids from Saudi Arabian flora.
