Lina earned her Bachelor’s and Master’s in Cell Biology at the American University of Beirut in Lebanon. Upon moving to the U.S., Lina received her Ph.D. in Molecular Genetics and Biochemistry at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center at Dallas in the laboratory of Nobel laureates Drs. Michael S. Brown and Joseph L Goldstein.

At Ayass Bioscience, she is involved in the design, development, and validation of high-complexity molecular testing ranging from next generation sequencing to array-based genotyping assays. Her major research project is the development of aptamers against coagulation disorder biomarkers. She has successfully developed an aptamer for the detection of D-dimer levels in blood sample and a Thrombin aptamer as a potential anticoagulant agent. Currently she is involved in the development of the aptamer-based Lateral Flow Assay as a point-of-care test for assessing an individual’s risk of clot. She is also part of the proteomics team for identification and validation of new biomarkers for autoimmune diseases, cardiac diseases, coagulation, and other disorders.

After receiving her Ph.D., Natalya worked as Senior Research Scientist at the Biological Center of Russian Academy of Sciences. Subsequently, she moved to the U.S. where she worked as a Research Scientist at the University of Texas, Dallas, and then worked as a Senior Research Scientist for a biotechnology company before joining Dr. Ayass’s team as their Molecular Biology Scientist.

Victor is a valuable member of the Ayass Bioscience research team. He participates in all research projects utilizing his knowledge in biochemistry, immunochemistry, and molecular biology. Among his contributions, Victor developed binding assays to confirm the binding of aptamers to the target molecules.
Victor earned his Master’s degree in Biophysics at Lomonosov Moscow State University and his Ph.D. in Biochemistry at Shemyakin-Ovchinnikov Institute of Bioorganic Chemistry, of the Russian Academy of Sciences. Victor worked in the Biological Center of the Russian Academy of Sciences. After he moved to the U.S., he held a research scientist position at the Cornell University Medical Center and at the UT Southwestern Medical Center. He joined the Ayass BioScience team as a Research Scientist.

He joined Ayass Bioscience after receiving his Bachelor’s in Computational and Applied Mathematics from Rice University and his Master’s in Bioinformatics from the University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston.

The opportunity presented by Ayass Bioscience enabled her to put her expertise in experimental design, planning, data analysis, modeling and projections, bioanalytical parameter determinations, and validation of various assays and clinical sample bioanalysis. She is working on the research of the discovery of biomarkers in COVID-19 diagnostic testing.
Jin received her M.D. degree from the school of Medicine, China Three Gorges University, China. She earned her Master’s degree in Pharmacology and Toxicology from the University of Mississippi Medical Center and MPH degree in Epidemiology and Biostatistics from the School of Public Health, Jackson State University after moving to the United States.

Jun earned his bachelor’s and Ph.D degrees of science in Chemistry at the University of Science and Technology of China. He received postdoctoral training from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. After completing his postdoctoral study, he worked as a research scientist for the University of Nebraska-Lincoln and was promoted to a Research Assistant Professor. Jun has published more than 70 peer reviewed articles, which have been cited more than 8000 times with an H-index of 41.

Dr. Tripathi is also responsible for designing an immune profile flow cytometry panel for COVID-19 patients and correlating the findings to mass spectrometry.
Before joining Ayass Bioscience, Dr. Tripathi worked at AbeXXa Biologics, Inc. His prior appointment was as a Senior Research Fellow at Mayo Clinic, Scottsdale, AZ. He also received postdoctoral training from UNT Health Science Center at Fort Worth and Baylor Institute for Immunology Research, BSWRI at Dallas. Dr Tripathi earned his Ph.D. degree in Biochemistry at Aligarh Muslim University, India. He also holds a Master of Science degree in Biotechnology from CSJM University, India and a Bachelor of Science (Hons.) degree in Chemistry from AMU, India.


Amir is a Bioinformatics Analyst at Ayass Bioscience with a Master’s degree in Medical Physics and Imaging from Vienna University of Technology. He has worked as a project assistant at the Medical University of Vienna on a project to detect and compensate for motion during PET imaging of patients with lung cancer using a Data-driven method that captures the respiratory signal from the patient’s data and utilizes this data to track the respiratory motion.
Amir is enthusiastic about Machine learning, Deep Learning and Statistical Analysis and is involved with processing of COVID-19 tests, Next Generation Sequencing data as well as analysis of proteomics and medical data in Ayass Bioscience, LLC.
