 I am highly motivated and dedicated individual, with strong communication and interpersonal skills, I can work independently and be a strong team player.

I have gained strong time management and organizational skills through my PhD studies and previous employment as a dentist.

My expertise in cell culture, RNA extraction from human samples and immunohistochemistry matches the job description. I am keen to learn the western blotting technique, I am familiar with the principles of plasmid cloning, and my previous work using clinical human samples make me the ideal candidate for this role.

I am aware that you will receive a large number of applications for this job, but I would very much appreciate the opportunity to demonstrate my capabilities to you in person and have the chance to be interviewed for this position.

2016 – 2022: PhD Bioscience Institution & Oral Medicine Department, Newcastle University, Newcastle upon Tyne

·        My PhD thesis was under the title of “The role of miRNA in Oral Lichen Planus (OLP) Pathogenesis”.

·        The research was lab-based study in which I gained experience in human cell culture, RNA extraction, RT-PCR, qPCR, IHC and target genes detection.

·        Trained on NanoString and Bioanalyzer technology.

·        In this project the relationship was preform between miRNA and cytokines as well as with compatible target gene that related to OLP disease.

·        PhD was under supervision of Prof Marco Carrozzo and Dr. Andreas Werner

2014 – 2016: MSc Diagnostic Oral Pathology, University of Sheffield, Sheffield

·        The course gave me critical systematic understanding of oral pathological conditions that require diagnosis by histopathological methods.

·        I have knowledge and understanding of the common laboratory methods used to prepare oral diagnostic material for histopathological examination and the main research tools and methods used to advance the practice of diagnostic oral pathology.

·        I have a high level of competence in diagnosing common and significant oral pathological lesions and conditions.

·        I am able to determine the necessary steps to resolve a diagnosis for specimens beyond immediate capabilities.
