Suha has started her career as an IVF scientist in the busiest IVF centre in Amman\Jordan dealing with around 3000 cycles/year where she worked there for 11 years before moving to Australia in 1998. Suha has completed her Masters degree in Reproductive Sciences and Human Genetics from Sydney University and her PhD degree in Medicine from the University of New South Wales. At the moment, she is holding the position of the laboratory supervisor at IVF Australia, the largest IVF centre in Australia and the second largest in the world that runs more than 15000 fresh IVF/ICSI cycles in fifteen labs. The lab Suha supervises is the largest lab in Sydney running more than 2000 IVF/ICSI cycles per year with state of art equipment. Suha is also interested in research; she has published vast number of scientific papers in renowned journals and presented papers in national and international conferences. Her main interest is the oocyte health and in particular investigating non-invasive markers for the selections of oocytes and embryos.

Suha was also appointed as a conjoint senior lecturer at the University of New South Wales where she supervises and provides guidance for medical students with their research projects. She is also an IVF auditor for Reproductive Technology accreditation committee (RTAC) and an assessor for National Association of Testing Authorities (NATA) where she provides technical guidance in the accreditation process of the IVF and Andrology centres in Australia.
