Fundamental Principles of Oxidative Stress in Metabolism and Reproduction

Dr Faiza Alam is currently working as an Assistant Professor at Pengiran-Anak-Puteri-Rashidah-Sa’adatul-Bolkiah Institute of Health Sciences, Brunei, and previously worked at Aga Khan University. She has been teaching Physiology for the last 14 years. After completing her Masters (Physiology), her research as a (PHD)scholar was dedicated to identifying the polymorphisms of the SIRT1 gene affecting oxidative environment and fertility. Broadly, her research is aimed towards the causative factors of non-communicable diseases. She cultivated a solid foundation in teaching and research within the field of Physiology. Her commitment to academic excellence and track record of delivering engaging lectures align seamlessly with the goals and ethos of your department. Moreover, her collaborative nature and interpersonal finesse have enabled her to foster strong professional relationships, enhancing both her teaching methodologies and research endeavors.
