معرفی
Husam Abu-Soud is a tenured Associate Professor in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at Wayne State University School of Medicine, and a full-time Research Educator at the C.S. Mott Center for Human Growth and Development in Detroit, Michigan. His academic role includes mentoring doctoral students, teaching graduate-level physiology and reproductive sciences, and leading a research lab focused on oxidative stress and female reproductive health.
Education:
- Ph.D. in Chemistry – University of Essex, United Kingdom
Research Interests:
Dr. Abu-Soud’s laboratory investigates the biochemical and molecular mechanisms underlying oocyte aging, female fertility decline, and reproductive toxicity. His work spans nitric oxide signaling, oxidative stress, environmental toxin impacts on oocytes, and peroxidase-mediated redox regulation. He is particularly known for linking ROS, zinc deficiency, and peroxidase dysfunction to poor oocyte quality and infertility.
