I am an assistant professor in neuroanatomy at the department of basic dental sciences at the Hashemite university. My research work focus on neurodevelopment and brain morphology in health and disease. My current research work lies in understanding how dendritic and synaptic structures mature during early postnatal development and through adulthood. My current project involves applying and optimizing Golgi-Cox staining techniques to study morphological changes in medium spiny neurons of the striatum across postnatal time points in mice. I am particularly interested in how disruptions in dendritic arborization and spine formation may underlie the pathophysiology of neurodevelopmental disorders such as autism spectrum disorder and ADHD. By improving histological protocols for neonatal brain tissue, I aim to make structural neurobiology more accessible and reproducible, thereby contributing to early detection and intervention strategies for neurodevelopmental disorders.
