Background

I worked previously for 2 years, as a medical technologist for a private laboratory, in a hospital setup, before started working for the university. 

My primary research focus on the development of analytical methods, mainly liquid chromatography in combination with ultra-violet, electrochemical, charged aerosol and mass spectrometry detectors, for the detection and quantification of endogenous biomolecules and drugs in a variety of biological animals’ samples matrices, and secondary, the study of blood cells under light microscope and blood chemistry analysis in variety of animals’ sample matrices.
