I have been working as an academic university professor and researcher at the Faculty of Medicine since 2021 and teach various courses in human anatomy, histology and embryology. My research interests are in the field of neurosciences
My research focuses on the blood brain barrier (BBB) following different neurological diseases, including traumatic brain injury (TBI). I am investigating the initiation, propagation and mechanism of spreading depolarization (SD) following traumatic brain injury and its relationship to seizure, post-traumatic epilepsy, and sudden catastrophic death following TBI
