I graduated from the College of Pharmacy at the University of Baghdad with a bachelor's degree in 2008 and was subsequently appointed to the staff of the Ministry of Health, where I worked for a year. In 2009, I transitioned to the Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research, having ranked among the top ten students, and joined the Department of Pharmaceutical Chemistry as a pharmacist. I pursued a master's degree in Pharmaceutical Chemistry, which I completed in 2015, earning the title of Assistant Lecturer. I continued my academic journey and obtained a Ph.D. in 2022. Currently, I hold the position of Lecturer in the Pharmaceutical Chemistry Department at the University of Baghdad, where I continue to contribute to both teaching and research.

My research interests center on advancements in drug development, with a particular focus on innovative approaches in pharmaceutical chemistry education and the integration of modern technologies in drug discovery processes. I also explore the impact of chemical properties on drug efficacy and safety, aiming to contribute to both academic knowledge and practical applications in the field.
Medicinal Chemistry - Design and development of pharmaceutical compounds, focusing on the relationship between chemical structure and biological activity. Computational Chemistry - Use of computer simulations to model chemical systems and predict the behavior of pharmaceutical compounds. Pharmaceutical Analysis - Development and validation of analytical techniques for the quality control of drugs, including chromatography and spectroscopy.

In search of novel antibacterial agent, a series of new isatin derivatives (3a-d) have been synthesized by condensation isatin (2,3-indolinendione) with piperidine (hexahydropyridine), hydrazine hydrate and Boc-amino acids respectively. Compounds synthesized have been characterized by IR spectroscopy and elemental analysis. In addition, the in vitro antibacterial properties have been tested against E. coli, P. aeruginosa, and Bacillus cereus, S. aureus by employing the well diffusion technique. A majority of the synthesized compounds were showing good antibacterial activity and from comparisons of the compounds, compound 3d has been determined to be the most active compound.
Coumarins have been recognized as anticancer competitors. HDACis are one of the interesting issues in the field of antitumor research. In order to achieve an increased anticancer efficacy, a series of hybrid compounds bearing coumarin scaffolds have been designed and synthesized as novel HDACis, In this review we present a series of novel HDAC inhibitors comprising coumarin as a core e of cap group of HDAC inhibitors that have been designed, synthesized and assessed for their enzyme inhibitory activity as well as antiproliferative activity. Most of them exhibited potent HDAC inhibitory activity and significant cytotoxicity
