معاذ عبد الكريم - Mouaadh Abdelkarim

Past accomplishments:

I earned A Doctorate degree (Ph.D) in Physiology from the University of Lille 2 droit et Sante, France.

During my PhD, I obtained very interesting results on the role of the nuclear receptor FXR in

adipocyte differentiation (in vitro and in vivo).

After graduating, I joined Scripps University (USA) for three months as a postdoctoral fellow. My

research project aimed to investigate the role of brown cells in metabolic regulation. In March 2010, I

relocated to Doha and joined Weill Cornell Medical College in Qatar (WCMC-Q), Department of

Genetic medicine and microbiology (Pr Lotfi Chouchane), as a postdoctoral research associate where

I led a research project designed to elucidate the role of brown cells (PAZ6 cells) in obesity.

Current position:

Since 2014, I hold assistant professor position at King Saud University, Riyadh.

Where I taught undergraduate and graduate Human physiology courses at college of medicine,

college of pharmacy and college of dentistry (King Saud University).

I teach essentially Human Physiology (physiopathology and endocrinology lectures, Body fluids… and

I give problem based learning (PBL) sessions). In parallel, I conduct research in the field of obesity,

metabolism and brown fat.
