Research Background

[1]. February 1993 – June 1993: Volunteer at the Natural History Museum (University of Khartoum), Khartoum, Sudan.

Undertaken Research: Working in the Bird Identification, learning some identification criteria applied to aquatic birds. During that period I contributed in a Census of the White stork migrating from north Europe (Germany) to south, Khartoum (Sudan).

Head of Group: Dr. Fathi M. El Raaba .

[2]. March 1997 – September 1997: Post-Graduate (M. Sc.) visiting student, at the Wellcome Centre for Molecular Parasitology, University of Glasgow, Glasgow, UK (funded by the WCMP and Gordon Memorial Trust).

Undertaken Research: Working at molecular level on the Leishmania cell cycle putative genes, the cdc2-related protein kinase 3 (CRK3) and sequencing of the full length gene from a Sudanese strain of Leishmania donovani and genetic analysis of the identified homologue.

Head of Group: Prof. Jeremy C. Mottram.

[3]. August 1996 -April 1999: Part-time Research Assistant, at the Institute of Endemic Diseases, Department of Genetics and Molecular Biology, University of Khartoum, Sudan (funded by WHO/TDR).

Undertaken Research: Working in a confidential project, involving studies at epidemiological and molecular levels on genetic polymorphism of Leishmania spp. parasitein different regions of SUDAN.

Head of Group: Prof. Muntaser E. Ibrahim.

[4]. May 1999 – March 2002: Post-Graduate (Ph. D) visiting student, at the Wellcome Centre for Molecular Parasitology, University of Glasgow, Glasgow, UK (funded by UNDP/WORLD BANK/WHO Special Program for Research and Training in Tropical diseases (TDR).

Undertaken Research: Working at molecular level on the Leishmania mexicana; biochemical analysis of two of the cell cycle regulators; the kinases (CRK1 and CRK3) and the cyclin (CYCb), their identification, and expression in the prokaryotic system, purification and investigation of their potentiality as drug targets.

Head of Group: Prof. Jeremy C. Mottram.

[5]. April 2003 – April 2004: Post-doctorate researcher, at Department of Medicine, Pharmacology, & Toxicology, Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, University of Khartoum. (funded by Ministry of Science & Technology (MOST).

Undertaken Research: Working in Molecular Diagnosis of parasitic, viral & bacterial diseases of domestic animals, using the RT-PCR, nested-PCR and Multiplex-PCR techniques.

Head of Group: Prof. Imadeldin E. Aradaib.

[6]. March 2011 – September 2011: Post-doctorate researcher, at Molecular Biology and Genetics Unit, Jawaharlal Nehru Centre for advanced Scientific Research (JNCASR), Bangalore- India. (Funded by CV Raman International Post-doctoral fellowship for African Researchers).

Undertaken Research: Working in Molecular Characterization of HGPRT from Plasmodium berghei and Secretome analysis of Plasmodium falciparum (proteoamic approach).

Head of Group: Prof. Hemalatha Balarm. India

[7]. March 2016 – May 2016: Scholarship from Centre for International Cooperation and Development (CICOPS) at the Department of Biology and Biotechnology University of Pavia, Italy.

Undertaken Research: Working on different aspects of population structure of Sudanese strain of Aedes aegypti and microsatellite analysis.

Head of Group: Prof. Guliano Gasperi, Pavia University, Italy.

[8]. June 2016 – August 2016: Fellowship from Women for Africa Foundation at the Laboratory of Arbovirus and Transmissible Imported Diseases, Carlos III Health Institute, Madrid, Spain.

Undertaken Research: Detection of arbovirus in samples of vectors through molecular methods and viral culture.

Head of Group: Dr. Mari Paz Sánchez-Seco, Madrid, Spain.

 

[9]. April 2017 – August 2017: Fellowship from Women for Africa Foundation at the Medical Entomology, Carlos III Health Institute, Madrid, Spain.
