About

I have completed my BPharm from Baghdad College of Pharmacy in 2006. I have worked as a pharmacist in both community and hospital pharmacies in Iraq and Qatar. I have joined Kingston University to pursue my higher education where I obtained my MSc (with distinction) in Pharmaceutical Analysis followed by completing my PhD in Therapeutics and drug delivery.   

My high standard research has been acknowledged nationally and internationally upon being the recipient of various awards. I am an awardee of Graduate Student Research Award in Analysis and Pharmaceutical Quality (APQ) from the American Association of Pharmaceutical Scientists, AAPS (USA 2015). I was also the winner of the Global Achiever award, KU Talent from Kingston University (UK, 2015) and I was a GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) first award winner for the best poster (UK, 2011).

I was appointed as a lecturer in Clinical Pharmaceutics at the school of Life Sciences, Pharmacy and Chemistry in 2015 where I teach Master of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences courses.

Research

Being an active researcher at Kingston University, I am working in multidisciplinary research projects. My research skills range from formulation of drug delivery systems to the investigation of the effect of delivery system on biological systems. I have strong expertise in developing delivery systems to enhance ocular drug bioavailability. Additionally I have developed an interest in using 3D printing technology for pharmaceutical application. Additionally, I have established strong collaboration with national and international institutions which is utilised in developing many empirical research projects.

My high standard research was acknowledged nationally and internationally as I am an awardee of several research awards, such as Graduate Student Research Award in Analysis and Pharmaceutical Quality (APQ), the American Association of Pharmaceutical Scientists.
