Name

Assistant Professor:Arshad Naji Alhasnawi

Personal Overview

I am a highly trained genetic with more than ten years of experience in plant research studies for products that improve plants through abiotic stress. I have experience of working in Molecular biology techniques: RNA and DNA isolation, DNA sequencing, PCR, primer construction. Bioinformatics: GenBank searching: BLAST, Tree building, Multiple sequence alignments, protein sequence analysis tools. Biotechnology: Plant, Tissue Culture, and Somatic Embryogenesis. Chemical, Biochemical, Agriculture, Autonomy and Physiology.
