Embryology and Histology
Research Interests
My interest is focus on the studies of the Aphanius dispar, a Cyprinodant fish in particular the
histology and histopathology. It focus on the effect of certain pesticides on certain organs such as
gills, liver, kidneys and gonads.
Teaching
I teach the following courses:
1. Embryology (Undergraduate Course)
2. Histology (Undergraduate Course)
3. Developmental Biology (Master Degree Course)
