I fulfilled a childhood dream of understanding how life started and how all human beings are eternal. - Habiba Bouhamed Chaabouni

It is an honour especially since in this category, I actually represent Africa. To this date, I remain the only member from the African continent to bear this title.

I opted to specialize in medical genetics, a decision that caused much confusion within the medical fraternity.

I have other activities that I may be called upon to undertake, such as participation in the work of commissions or juries. And of course I regularly participate in scientific meetings both nationally and internationally.
