As an assistant professor and researcher in general biology, I can denote my teaching experience and philosophy as listed below:

I have academic experience in teaching General Biology, Molecular Biology, and animal physiology in a structured manner while fostering student engagement through interactive and inquiry-based learning. My responsibilities include delivering lectures, supervising laboratory sessions, and developing instructional activities that promote critical thinking and connect theoretical knowledge with current research applications at the undergraduate level. My teaching approach focuses on presenting complex scientific concepts in a clear and

My research interests can be summarized as follows:

My research interests center on cancer diagnostics, particularly molecular approaches for colorectal cancer, with an emphasis on identifying genetic and molecular markers that enhance early detection and diagnostic precision.

I also conduct research in the molecular diagnosis of thalassemia, utilizing cutting-edge molecular biology techniques to improve diagnostic accuracy and support genetic screening programs.

Beyond clinical diagnostics, my research extends to environmental and water purification studies, where I explore innovative and sustainable solutions using advanced biomaterials. Additionally, I am engaged in green biosynthesis nanoparticles through plant-based extracts, aiming to develop eco-friendly nanomaterials for biomedical and environmental applications.

I maintain a strong interest in blood physiology, focusing on the mechanisms and functional dynamics of blood cells and their roles in maintaining physiological balance
