description: "Alia Al Mansoori is a former Emirati pupil at Al Mawakeb School. In 2017, aged 15, she won the Genes in Space UAE competition, with a proposal to study how exposure to space affects the health of live organisms at cellular level. Her experiment was loaded onto the August 2017 SpaceX CRS-12 mission. Al Mansoori's experiment studied the expression of heat-shock proteins in space, establishing that the genes turning them on could be detected. Her experiment was successfully tested by astronaut Peggy Whitson and revealed stress-induced gene expression using reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction."
