KACST-NPST grant: Ongoing grant
introduction/brief CV
I teach advanced biochemistry, metabolism, brain energy metabolism, inborn errors of metabolism, human nutrition, and biochemistry of the eye at both undergraduate and postgraduate levels. My research area is in understanding the cellular and molecular mechanisms of diabetic retinopathy. My core research interest is in neurodegeneration and neuroprotection in the diabetic retina.
areas of expertise
Molecular, cellular, and biochemical understanding of Diabetes and its complications, especially Diabetic retinopathy, a leading cause of blindness worldwide.
