Kurdish: Native
Special skills:
Research on Bacterial Secretion systems and Virulence
- Investigated the Type V Secretion System (T5SS), Specifically focusing on the role of EspC autotransporter in Enteropathogenic E. coli (EPEC) and AaaA autotransporters in P. aeruginosa, leading to a deeper understanding of bacterial virulence mechanisms.
-Contributed to Global AMR Research Strategies: by identifying and validating potential therapeutic targets within the secretion systems of WHO high-priority opportunistic pathogens
- Elucidated Protein Biogenesis Pathways: studied the assembly and translocation of outer membrane proteins (OMPs) in Neisseria meningitidis, specifically TbpA, LbpA and PorA to determine the critical role of chaperones (SurA and NMB_0345) in bacterial virulence and structural integrity.
Advanced Genetic Engineering and Molecular Biology
- Performed Genetic Cloning: Designed and executed complex genetic manipulations, including the creation of deletion mutants, complementation strains, and promoter swaps to analyze gene regulation and protein expression patterns.
- Performed Genetic Mutation: Developed precise genetic knockout strains (single and double mutants) using inverse PCR and Omega cassette ligation for the study of chaperone proteins (SurA and NMB_0345) in Neisseria meningitidis
Analytical Techniques and Imaging
- High-Resolution Imaging & Analysis: Utilized Confocal Fluorescence Microscopy and immunofluorescence techniques to map protein localization and secretion dynamics.
- In-silico & Experimental Integration: Bridged the gap between computational protein modeling and wet-lab validation to predict and verify the interaction between secretion machinery and effector proteins.
- Conducted biomedical characterizations: Executed and optimized protein expression analysis using SDS-PAGE and Western Blotting to verify the stability and localization of recombinant proteins
- Phenotypic and Functional Assays: Designed and performed iron utilization assays (Lactoferrin/transferrin -impregnated disks) to evaluate the impact of genetic mutations on bacterial nutrient acquisition and survival mechanisms.

Desired job profile
Desired job profile:
Driven by a passion for bridging the gap between advanced molecular research and global health systems, I specialize in Medical and Molecular Microbiology with a PhD from the University of Nottingham. My expertise lies in deciphering bacterial virulence mechanisms and identifying novel therapeutic targets to combat Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR)—one of the most pressing challenges in modern medicine.
Throughout my academic and professional journey, I have evolved from a deep-dive researcher in bacterial secretion systems to a strategic thinker focused on Health Management. I believe that solving the AMR crisis requires more than just new drugs; it demands innovative health modeling, precise diagnostic frameworks, and sustainable scientific policymaking.
My core areas of impact include:
AMR Strategy: Developing innovative pathways to combat resistance using alternative therapeutic targets.
Health Management: Integrating clinical data into systemic health modeling to improve patient outcomes.
R&D Consultancy: Bridging the gap between wet-lab validation and translational medicine.
Infectious Disease Diagnostics: Enhancing the precision of diagnosing complex infections.
I am open to collaborations and opportunities in Higher Education and R&D consultancy where I can contribute to shaping the future of global health frameworks.
