Dr. Iyad Al-Ali from the Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences at An-Najah University concluded a one-month research visit to the Faculty of Life Sciences at the University of Essex in the UK. During his visit Dr. Al-Ali worked at Professor Michael Wilson’s laboratories which specialize in studying heme-proteins and reactive oxygen species.

The visit also included a number of experiments on hemoglobin toxicity which is considered, along with the heme-proteins and reactive oxygen species, among the problems that researchers are attempting to solve currently. A number of special devices were used during the experiments such as the stop flow spectrophotometer.

At the end of the visit Professor Wilson valued Dr. Al-Ali’s visit to the University of Essex and hoped that cooperation in such fields would be taken to further levels in the future between the two universities.
