RESEARCH INTERESTS
- My Lab is interested in testing potential antimicrobial and antiviral natural products. We also interested in evaluating the prevalence of different viral infections in Jordanian population, and put values on the activity of currently used antiviral and immunological supportive drugs. At the meantime, we are establishing our facility and starting up our work. We are happy to make any collaboration and open for new ideas.
