Research & Supervision

I will be working on two researches, first is related to tumor microenvironment markers as CXCR4 and prostatic carcinoma and the second is about Chitinase markers and their relation to breast carcinoma. The second is actually a thesis/dissertation work for one of the Kurdistan Board students. My supervisions are listed below;
