My research is concerned with understanding how different invertebrates interact with the threat of microbial exploitation. How their responses are affected by environmental variables and how immune systems evolved. In addition to that, My priorities include the discovery and development of bioactive compounds from marine microbes.

I have over 10 years experience in the field of invertebrates and vertebrates immunity and community assessment gained as part of my PhD, during my employment at Macquarie University and at Al -Hussein Bin Talal University(AHU) and more recently as consultant.
