introduction/brief CV
Working as a Full Professor at Department of Zoology, College of Science, King Saud University, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. I have focused and have made constant efforts to develop and validate newer, more sensitive cell-based in vitro models as an alternative to experimental animals for biomedical and molecular toxicology research. Such test models have relevance to understanding the molecular insights of nanoparticles, drugs/ chemical-induced toxicity, and metabolism.
Research Area: Systematic Toxicology, Nanomaterial Toxicology, Genetic Toxicology, Aquatic Toxicology & biology, Cell biology, Environmental toxicology.
