At the School of Medicine, I teach the following modules of the New Medical Curriculum:

In addition, I have taught Advanced Molecular Biology for Master students

My Philosophy in Teaching

I consider teaching as a mission. It does not involve simply making students understand the specific subject one teaches, only. Teaching is an art, and it includes making students interact in the lecture, help them to have a clearer vision, have more confidence, and to make their minds more flexible while building some solid basics there. For the goals mentioned I have also been involved in curriculum development within Kurdistan universities.

Research for me is the way to understand our world better and to respect nature and to realize we are all elements in it. This is specifically important for Kurdistan Region at present. It also improves logical thinking, something that I believe we need in all aspects of our lives, not just science. I am also interested in helping to shape the general direction of Kurdistan science research towards studying our wild life and protecting our environment and minimizing pollution.
