Thesis, Chemical and Biological Study of Jordanian Medicinal Plants. Then, I obtained the Ph.D. from Hanover University - Germany in 2000 with DAAD scholarship. Thesis, Stereoselective Synthesis of Cephalostatin Analogues as anti-Cancer Agents. I start working in JUST as lecturer through 2001-2003. I was appointed at Al-Balqa Applied University in 2003, and I am still until now, through in, I appointed as a Head of Basic Sciences Dept. in 2005/2006. I ranked associate professor in 2011 and professorship in 2022. My scientific research interests include: Preparing compounds with anti-cancer activity derived from marine natural products, conducting chemical and biological studies of important medicinal plants, invention of new and green methods for the reactions such as oxidation/epoxidation and chlorination reactions, and finally the use of some plants in the treatment of waste water contaminated with heavy metals. I have also reviewed several research papers in various international journals in the field of organic chemistry and applied chemistry. Moreover, I got a sabbatical year at the University of Jordan in 2015-2016. Through my academic life, I attended more than fifteen specialized international scientific conferences, especially the Molecular Therapeutics of Cancer Conference - New Hampshire - USA in 2005, and the same conference at the University of Oxford - UK in 2006. I published more than 30 papers, whether in prestigious international journals or conference proceedings. I taught various courses such as organic chemistry 1 and 2 and general chemistry. In addition, I supervised jointly with other colleagues several master's theses and graduation projects. Also, I was a member of discussion committees for master's theses.
