Biography
My research interests include molecular genetics, cytogenetics, and epigenetics. In 2004, I received a BSc in Biology from Salahaddin University-Erbil (SUE). Subsequently, I completed an MSc in Genetics in 2009 and a PhD in Molecular Genetics from SUE in 2024. The primary concern of my PhD research was the correlation between prostate cancer and repair genes. I applied various molecular techniques to investigate the impact of gene mutations and promoter methylation, an epigenetic mechanism, on the gene expression of repair genes. This offered valuable insights for developing new biomarkers and therapies for the disease.
From 2010 to 2014, I worked as an assistant lecturer at the College of Science. Then, I have been a lecturer at the same university since 2014. In addition, I acted as the biology department's rapporteur for seven years, from 2010 to 2016 and again from 2019 to 2020. In addition, I have been a member of the College of Science examination committee from 2010 to 2016, 2018 to 2019, and 2019 to 2020. Also, I was a member of the Zanco Journal of Pure and Applied Sciences editorial board at Salahaddin University-Erbil from 2018 to 2020, and I am very proud of this. Starting in 2022 and continuing to the present, I am the Head of the Biology Department.
