Summary

I graduated with a B.Sc degree in pharmacy from college of pharmacy / University of Baghdad in 2001 and then work as pharmacist in Ministry of health / Al- Yarmook teaching hospital from 2001-2002. Then accepted as repeater in college of pharmacy/ University of Baghdad in 2002. I take the master degree in clinical laboratory sciences from college of pharmacy/ University of Baghdad in 2009. In my department (clinical laboratory sciences) I teach many materials like biology and histology labs, clinical chemistry lab, biochemistry lab and laboratory training. And I supervised for many graduate projects from 2015 till now.

laboratory technical supervisor in clinical chemistry lab

Awards and Memberships

1-member of committee of graduation projects assessment for fifth stage students from 2016-till now 2-member of committee of examination in 2021and 2022-

Research Interests

I am interested in understanding the role of vitamins (like vitamin K and D) and trace elements (like zinc, magnesium and iron) in human health because vitamins and minerals are essential substances of the body, participating in cell structure, energy metabolism as well as all vital activities of the body and there are strong links between deficiency of these vitamins and minerals and the risk of developing chronic diseases including some cancers, heart disease, diabetes, osteoporosis and depression and other diseases

Regulation of Appetite and Satiety by Gastrointestinal Peptides
...Show More Authors

In recent decades, global obesity has increased significantly, causing a major health problem with associated complications and major socioeconomic issues. The central nervous system (CNS), particularly the hypothalamus, regulates food intake through sensing the metabolic signals of peripheral organs and modulating feeding behaviors.  The hypothalamus interacts with other brain regions such as the brain stem to perform these vital functions. The gut plays a crucial role in controlling food consumption and energy homeostasis. The gut releases orexigenic and anorexigenic hormones that interact directly with the CNS or indirectly through vagal afferent neurons. Gastrointestinal peptides (GIP) including cholecystokinin, peptide YY, Nesf

Review article - Impact of Vitamin K on Human Health
...Show More Authors

Vitamins k is an important fat-soluble vitamin that can be obtained from plants, bacteria and animals and is necessary for the blood clotting. It plays a key function as a cofactor in the synthesizing of blood clotting proteins in the liver; recently, the interest for its functions in extra-hepatic tissue has increased. Vitamin k deficiency is usually caused by abnormal absorption rather than in the lack of vitamin in food. Apart from its impact on clotting, chronic subclinical deficiency of vitamin K maybe a risk factor for many diseases such as osteoporosis, atherosclerosis, cancer, insulin resistance, neurodegenerative diseases and others, while current food intake guidelines be focused on the daily dose necessary to avoid blood loss.

Some Pro and Anti-Inflammatory Cytokines in Children with Tonsillitis and their Correlations with Vitamin D Deficiency
...Show More Authors

Inflammation of the tonsils could be described as acute tonsillitis, mainly due to infection. Recurrent tonsillitis could be defined as 3-7 episodes during the first 3 years of age. Vitamin D, which is a neuro-hormone with pleiotropic biological activities may modulate the immune response by alleviation, and stimulation of Th1 and Th2 cell proliferation, respectively, that influence the stimulation, synthesis, and secretion of both pro and anti-inflammatory cytokines. In this study we aimed to shed light on the levels of vitamin D in children with different episodes of tonsillitis in association with levels of interleukins (TNFα, IL-2, IL-4, IL-10). Blood samples were collected from 48 participants in 3 groups: control, acute tonsilliti
