Mays Aqrouq earned her Bachelor’s degree in Genetics (2016–2020) from the Jordan University of Science and Technology in Irbid, Jordan, with a semester abroad at the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens, Greece. Her undergraduate research focused on clinical cytogenetics in acute myeloid leukemia at the King Hussein Cancer Center. She then pursued a Master’s (2020–2021) and a PhD (2021– October 2025) in Cancer Biology at the Institute of Molecular Genetics of Montpellier (IGMM), France, where she investigated SUMO-dependent epigenetic regulation of transposable elements in AML under the supervision of Denis Tempé and Guillaume Bossis. In January 2026, she joined the Epigenetics and Cell Fate Unit in Paris as a postdoctoral researcher in Dounia Djeghloul’s team, studying the mitotic memory of X chromosome inactivation in human B cells.
