I am an Associate Professor of Infectious Diseases and Clinical Microbiology with extensive academic and research experience in the fields of HIV, viral hepatitis, tuberculosis, zoonotic infections, and emerging infectious diseases. Over the past decade, I have published widely in international peer-reviewed journals and contributed to several book chapters, focusing on viral and bacterial infections, diagnostic innovations, and public health implications of infectious diseases.
My career highlights include a specialization in Infectious Diseases and Clinical Microbiology, international collaboration and training experience (including observer work at NHS Royal Free Hospital, London), and active participation in scientific congresses with oral and poster presentations. I have supervised medical students and residents, and I am passionate about advancing medical education with a focus on evidence-based infectious disease management.
Key skills include:
• Strong research background in viral and bacterial infections (HIV, HBV, HCV, CCHF, brucellosis, tuberculosis).
• Proven track record of publications in high-impact journals (EBioMedicine, Viruses, Medicina, Diagnostics, Cureus, among others).
• Experience in clinical microbiology, diagnostic methods, and epidemiological studies.
• Effective academic teaching and mentoring at undergraduate and postgraduate levels.
• Multidisciplinary collaboration in national and international research projects.
Career Objective
To contribute to an internationally recognized academic institution as an Assistant or Associate Professor, where I can expand my research on infectious diseases, foster interdisciplinary collaborations, and actively engage in teaching and mentoring students. I aim to further develop innovative approaches to diagnostics and public health strategies in the fight against emerging and re-emerging infections.
