Yarob is from Nablus, Palestine, a city with a rich culture and history that has deeply influenced my aspirations.

During his undergraduate studies, Yarob immersed himself in cancer research, including synthesising anti-cancer medications as part of his graduation project, which was later published in one of the most reputable journals in the field. These experiences solidified his dedication to making meaningful contributions to the development of next-generation therapies.

Currently, he is pursuing a master’s degree in clinical pharmacology at the University of Glasgow. The university’s global reputation for academic excellence and its unique program—integrating pharmacogenomics and personalised pharmacotherapies—made it his ideal choice. Yarob describes walking through the majestic hallways and historic buildings of the University of Glasgow as a transformative experience. Every step feels like traveling through time, surrounded by centuries of academic legacy and intellectual achievement. It’s an environment that constantly inspires him to think boldly and creatively about the future of medicine.

Yarob’s academic journey is fuelled by a commitment to advancing oncology research. He aims to develop anti-cancer medications that are safer, more effective, and tailored to individual patients, contributing to the field of precision medicine. He envisions his research playing a pivotal role in transforming cancer treatment and improving countless lives.

Beyond academics, Scotland has left an indelible mark on Yarob. He has fallen in love with its rich history, vibrant culture, and the unyielding spirit of its people. The warmth of the Scottish community has made him feel at home, and the breathtaking landscapes and historical landmarks serve as a constant source of inspiration. This blend of academic rigor and cultural enrichment has made Yarob’s time in Glasgow a profoundly rewarding experience.
