حول الخبرة
Teaching students and practising lab work make the science close to real understand of what might happened in physiological system.
Through my study and research journey, I found the research is one major life aspect. in the daly research we are aim to understand how our immune system works in steady state and thus in might affected in diseases model such breast cancer.
