The NSF’s Excellence Intelligent Research (EiR) program funds Ibrahim’s research on the heavy-metal uptake and tolerance in Nerium oleander through transcriptome kaleidoscope. The study could potentially provide clues for understanding how phytoremediation plants help decontaminate environments. It’s a low-cost natural technique that has gained prominence in environmental science.Ibrahim said, “The EiR program will help support my lab and cultivate new undergraduate and graduate students interested in environmental science. This opportunity will equip them with valuable experience, opening doors to potential careers in national labs, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, and various other promising avenues.”
