Sciences, in the field of Microbiology, Faculty of Sciences, Jordan University, Amman. I earned my master
degree in Biology/Microbiology in 1983 working with Prof. Abdel-Razaq Taqi Eddin. During my study I
worked as a veterinarian at Ministry of Agriculture/Amman, Jordan. After I earned my Master degree I was
promoted to be a head of the bacteriological unit at Animal Health Institute at the Ministry of Agriculture
where I work till July 1991. In July 1991, I won a grant from the British Council/Amman, to purse my
graduate study (Ph.D.) at The Royal Veterinary College (RVC) / London University/ U.K. for the years 1991-

earned my Ph.D. degree in Veterinary Medicine/Microbiology. I returned to Jordan and joined the
Bacteriology and vaccine units, Animal Health Institute, Ministry of Agriculture for two years. In 1997, I got
a position at Faculty of Veterinary Medicine at JUST as a lecturer for two years then I promoted to assistant
professor. In 2007, I got promoted to associate professor. In 2011, I won an international award from Fulbright Collaboration Commission at Amman for academic year 2011/2012. A research grant on molecular
