Abdullah Aleidan

Abdullah Aleidan is a Lecturer at King Saud University since October 2011 and currently a PhD candidate in the School of Environmental Sciences at the University of East Anglia (UEA). His research focuses on the impacts of metal pollution on marine ecosystems, particularly in polluted estuaries of South West England, examining pollution-tolerant species and communities.

His academic background includes a degree from King Saud University awarded on 15 September 2011 for research on lead-induced histological and functional alterations in chicken organs. This foundational work established his expertise in environmental toxicology.

Aleidan's primary research interests span marine pollution tolerance, ecotoxicology, and microbial ecology, with recent expansion into bioinformatics for environmental genomics. His work directly supports UN Sustainable Development Goals related to clean water, life below water, and climate action through investigations of pollution-adapted ecosystems.

His publication record reveals a strategic shift toward computational approaches in environmental science, particularly in metagenomic analysis of Archaea communities using RNAseq data and specialized pipelines like LotuS2. This interdisciplinary work bridges field ecology with genomic data science to improve taxonomic resolution in polluted environments.

No scientific awards or major grants are documented in the available information. Similarly, there is no indication of student supervision or advisory roles.

Aleidan maintains active international collaborations, as evidenced by co-authorships with researchers across multiple institutions including Davies, Udochi, Fritscher, Bahram, and Hildebrand, reflecting engagement in global environmental research networks focused on pollution impacts and microbial adaptation.
