Biografie

I graduated with First-Class Honour BSc Degree in Pharmacy from the School of Pharmacy, University of Mosul, Mosul, Iraq in 2006, following which I commenced a MSc Degree in the Department of Pharmacology, School of Medicine, University of Mosul, Mosul, Iraq, assessing the effect of continuous valproate monotherapy on body mass index (BMI), serum leptin, malondialdehyde (MDA) and lipid profile in male epileptic children and adult patients in comparison to healthy male controls, and I graduated in 2010 with First-Class Honour MSc Degree in Pharmacology. Thereafter, I conduced a PhD Degree at the School of Life Sciences, University of Nottingham, Nottingham, England, UK. I characterized the effects of reducing the levels of the NAD precursor nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN) with the NMN-synthesizing enzyme nicotinamide phosphoribosyl transferase (NAMPT) inhibitor FK866 on axonal damage and behavioural symptoms in in vitro and in vivo models of neurodegeneration including Huntington’s disease (HD) and Alzheimer’s disease (AD), and I graduated in 2016. Next, I worked as Post-Doctoral Research Fellow at The University of Nottingham for 5 years, and I led many Translational Pharmacology projects with broad range of national and international collaborators, both from the public and private sectors, including other UK universities, pharmaceutical companies, NHS, and others, and we published many original research articles. In 2021, I moved to industry, and I worked as Senior Research Scientist at Crown Bioscience UK Ltd. My role involved performing high quality pre-clinical oncology in vivo procedures for national and international clients in strict compliance with welfare, legislative, health and safety requirements, and generation and provision of high-quality data production and reports. In 2022, I rejoined the University of Nottingham, and I worked as Lecturer of Pharmacology. I participated in designing, teaching and assessing pharmacology and broad range of Pharmacy, Medical and Biomedical science subjects to undergraduate and postgraduate students at The School of Pharmacy, School of Medicine, and School of Life Sciences, University of Nottingham. Since then, I have been promoted to Assistant Professor of Pharmacology (Teaching and Curriculum Leadership) in the University of Nottingham. I am currently leading the planning and delivery of the curriculum on the Pharmacy degree to ensure integration, co-ordination, and spiral learning between various Teaching Blocks in Pharmacy MPharm Year 3, and through the Pharmacy MPharm Course in general. As Head of Pharmacy MPharm Year 3, I am responsible for the teaching and learning experience of students, monitoring their progression and assessment and preparation of full-year timetable. Furthermore, I am currently leading the planning and delivery of the curriculum on the Medicine degree in Year 1 and leading the review and development of the Pharmacology taught content in the Early Years of the Medicine degree. Part of my responsibilities as Medicine Year 1 Lead also include delivering induction materials at the start of the academic year, monitoring students’ engagement, preparing full-year timetable, and liaising with the assessments lead to blueprint and create the exam papers. In addition, I lead the teaching (through working as Module Convener) of many modules on the Pharmacy and Medicine degrees and coordinating the teaching on these modules across School of Pharmacy and School of Medicine. Moreover, I contribute to the design and delivery of over 20 modules on the Pharmacy, Medicine, and Pharmacology degrees, leading on development of new programme level assessment for Year 3 of the Pharmacy degree, and contributing to designing, reviewing, assessing, marking, and moderating various written, online, OSCE and IP oral exams across the 3 degrees. Current Responsibilities I am currently The Head of Pharmacy Year 3, and responsible for ensuring integration, co-ordination, and spiral learning between various Teaching Blocks in Pharmacy MPharm Year 3, and through the Pharmacy MPharm Course in general. I am also The Medicine Year 1 Lead, and The Medicine Pharmacology Lead, and responsible for the operational management of the curriculum, mainly across Year 1 of the Early Years and the BMedSci component of the University of Nottingham’s Medicine programme. In addition, I convene number of teaching modules at The School of Pharmacy, and School of Medicine, University of Nottingham, and lead The Pharmacology and Therapeutics Theme for many teaching modules at The School of Pharmacy, University of Nottingham. Moreover, I deliver teaching (in variety of settings including large group lectures and small group tutorials as well as, workshops, and practical classes) across range of courses.
