A Dubai police officer excels in scientific research both locally and globally

First Lieutenant Abdullah Al Bastaki of the Forensic Evidence and Crime General Department of the Dubai Police has achieved quality achievements in the field of scientific research both locally and globally, which qualifies him to receive the title of “Dubai’s Commander-in-Chief”. Policing for Scientific Excellence within the Commander-in-Chief Award for the year 2022 in the 18th session.

Lt. Al Bastaki, after achieving a high school average of 99.7%, showed unparalleled distinction in his science to receive a scholarship from the Dubai Police General Command to study criminology in the United Kingdom and graduate with distinction.

And his passion for scientific excellence led him to continue his education by submitting a master’s thesis in Molecular Cytology at Nottingham Trent University, receiving an Honors Degree with First Honors and becoming the first young person to specialize in it. Critical Science of Dubai Police. Al Bastaki currently works as an expert in the field of biology and DNA in the field of forensic evidence and criminology, and is the first young Emirati to research the science of “identifying people by microbial communities” and the first young Emirati to conduct research on the deadly bacteria Cronobacter.

His passion for science led him to enter the world of inventors, where Lt. Al Bastaki was able to obtain a patent in the field of DNA after he effectively contributed to the design of chemical solutions targeting 26 genetic sites in the male chromosome.
