RIYADH: A Saudi scientist has been appointed as associate editor of prestigious BMC Genomics, an online journal published by the UK-based BioMed Central. Dr. Khawla Al-Kuraya, principal scientist and director of King Fahd National Center for Children’s Cancer and Research, said it was “one of those rare recognitions that scientists aspire for.” “I’m truly flattered by the fact that the works we’ve been doing locally for the past few years have received such international recognition,” she added.
