Dr. Natally Al Arab joined the Fain Pulmonary Research Lab as a Postdoctoral Research Scholar in September 2022. She completed her medical degree at Beirut Arab University in Lebanon and her master's degree in Neuroimaging at the Neuroscience Research Center of the Lebanese University. Her previous research experience includes serving as a postdoctoral research fellow in the Department of Diagnostic Radiology at the American University of Beirut and as a project manager at the Global Health Institute in Lebanon, where she focused on developing a systematic approach to employing digital health and AI-based interventions to improve maternal health in the MENA region.

Her research spans various aspects of chest imaging, with a particular emphasis on advanced quantitative imaging techniques and their clinical applications. Currently, her research projects focus on optimizing photon-counting detector CT (PCCT) technology to enhance imaging quality and diagnostic accuracy. Additionally, she is investigating the utility of hyperpolarized 129-Xe MRI in assessing disease progression in pulmonary conditions such as long COVID.
