معاذ عبد الكريم - Mouaadh Abdelkarim

Past accomplishments:
I earned A Doctorate degree (Ph.D) in Physiology from the University of Lille 2 droit et Sante, France.
During my PhD, I obtained very interesting results on the role of the nuclear receptor FXR in
adipocyte differentiation (in vitro and in vivo).
After graduating, I joined Scripps University (USA) for three months as a postdoctoral fellow. My
research project aimed to investigate the role of brown cells in metabolic regulation. In March 2010, I
relocated to Doha and joined Weill Cornell Medical College in Qatar (WCMC-Q), Department of
Genetic medicine and microbiology (Pr Lotfi Chouchane), as a postdoctoral research associate where
I led a research project designed to elucidate the role of brown cells (PAZ6 cells) in obesity.
Current position:
Since 2014, I hold assistant professor position at King Saud University, Riyadh.
Where I taught undergraduate and graduate Human physiology courses at college of medicine,
college of pharmacy and college of dentistry (King Saud University).
I teach essentially Human Physiology (physiopathology and endocrinology lectures, Body fluids… and
I give problem based learning (PBL) sessions). In parallel, I conduct research in the field of obesity,
metabolism and brown fat.
