Farwaniya, Kuwait
Innovative and driven Associate Professor of Biochemistry & Molecular Biology with over 16 years of teaching and research experience—8+ years post‑PhD—specializing in molecular diagnostics, genotoxicity, and environmental health sciences. As a multilingual academic and grant‑winning researcher, I combine rigorous laboratory techniques, curriculum design, and research leadership to produce high‑impact scholarship and foster student success. I have successfully secured and managed HEC‑funded projects, supervised over 29 research students (BS, MPhil), and published extensively in peer‑reviewed journals. My interdisciplinary approach integrates enzymology, toxicology, and oxidative stress biomarker research to address real-world challenges—from heavy metal toxicity to endocrine disruption in vulnerable populations. As a curriculum innovator, I’ve designed and enhanced programs aligned with HEC accreditation standards, integrating molecular diagnostics, instrumentation, and digital learning platforms. I bring a collaborative leadership style, mentoring future researchers and building cohesive lab and classroom environments. Key Contributions & Expertise ✦ Strategic design and implementation of coordinated biochemistry syllabi across undergraduate and postgraduate programs ✦ Leadership of a multidisciplinary research lab focusing on genotoxic biomarkers in environmental exposure ✦ Proven track-record in grant writing, project execution, and managing ethics & compliance standards ✦ Developed and supervised real-world student research projects rooted in molecular techniques ✦ Organized and led workshops on curriculum innovation, assessment design, and digital education ✦ Engaged in national and international scientific communication—poster talks, oral presentations, and conference facilitation I’m open to collaborating on multidisciplinary research, leading academic program development, and building international partnerships. Let’s drive innovation in environmental and molecular health together.
