The teacher's role is to prepare competent graduates in their respective fields of specialization, focusing on developing their abilities, intellect, personalities, and skills. This is the teacher's primary task, implemented within the classroom by connecting theoretical and practical activities with the outside world and preparing students for employment in their chosen field. The teacher exerts considerable effort to help students achieve success and acquire further knowledge and expertise.

  • I am interested in research related to the common genetic diseases in the Kurdistan region of Iraq, such as Thalassemia and Sickle Cell Anemia (SCD), as well as all types of diseases and cancers prevalent in our region. The goal of this research is to ascertain their underlying causes and work towards minimizing or preventing their incidence.
  • Molecular Evaluation of Genetic Risk Factors for Cardiovascular Disease among recurrent pregnancy loss in Dohuk province.
  • Interaction between APOE genotype and type 2 diabetes inKurds population.
