ACADEMIC APPOINTMENTS

Lecturer Thi Qar University Thi -Qar, Iraq 2008-2010
Worked for fall time as lecturer teaching student and working as lab administrator in the same university. This work emprove my ability teaching and built good relationship with all the staff and students

Assistant Teacher, Thi Qar University Thi -Qar, Iraq 2006-2008
After getting my Master in Histology, I got my chance to pursue the work which I like as assistant teacher and lab assistance teaching and doing research approach. Working on several graduation projects also help to earn some lab and thinking skills.

Lab assistance

Working as lab assistance helped me to get more and more bench work and team work experience. Through this position, I also learned proposal writing experiences.

​

TEACHING EXPERIENCE

Taught Biology classes in department of Biology in Collage of science in Iraq:
Cell Biology around 6 sections showing the structure of the cells and all the protein and crucial enzymes with their functions and reaction.
General Biology describing the tissue and organs.
Organic Genetics, explain for the student the basic compound of DAN and RNA. Elucidate all genetic traits heredity and mutations.
Neurotoxicology teach undergraduate student the neuron structure and the effects of varies sort of toxic that seriously impact on neuron and lead to some of neurodegenerative disease such as Parkinson’s and Alzheimer.

 

Clinic toxicology class to 5th stage pharmacy students to teach them how to deal with patients who suffered from poisoning. I am also trying every year to explain the different effects of chemicals, heavy metals, and pesticides on human health. Additionally, teach mechanism of toxicology 4th stage pharmacy collage. Showing the students the main pathways and mechanism of toxicants.

Laboratory Biology during this class I was explain to the student how they are using the lab tools and equipment. Pronounce to the student that the role of the lab needed to be known before they are involved in their actual lab.

RESEARCH EXPERIENCE
University of Iowa/ Human Toxicology: Dr. Ludweig

During Ph.D study and trying to find the effect of Co-exposure to lead and PCBs on neuron cells. Ph.D thesis included human and in vitro work using neuron cells model. Dealing with PCBs and understanding the pathways of toxicant also was one of the achievement in Dr. Ludweig lab. Thesis work come out with 3 papers. Contribute in side work represented by study the effect of PCB126 on liver managed by Dr. Robertson. I have honor to be the student who establish the comet assay in Dr. Ludweig lab and use this assay in Dr. Robertson project.

Thi- Qar university/ Histology Dr. AL sadde

Mc.S study trying to study the hsto-pathological changes in some organisms of the male rabbits after lead acetate treatment and the role of penicillamine and vitamin C in the treatment.
