Dr Shamsaldeen YousifSenior Research Associate, University of Bristol, United Kingdom.
Biography
I have been living in the UK since January/2011 when I started my MSc in pharmacology at the University of Hertfordshire, followed by a PhD in pharmacology, toxicology and pharmacy in 2016, and a full-time job as a research associate at the University of Bath in December 2016, and currently working as a senior research associate at the University of Bristol. Throughout my career I showed my reviewing skills through assessing exam papers, viva exams, reviewing research papers and conferences abstracts. My interest in this position at your journal stems from my experience in the field of blood and cardiovascular research.
