Yaseen Bokhari is a Lecturer of Biotechnology and Microbiology at the College of Pharmacy, Alfaisal University.  Bokhari holds two master degrees from Flinders University, South Australia.  The most recent one was a Master of Science by research through which the impacts of some commercial pesticides and their active ingredients on the human skin were investigated. The other one was a Master of Biotechnology Studies which ended up with a project assessing the potential cytotoxicity of bioremediated soil that was contaminated by polyaromatic hydrocarbons.

 

As a faculty member, he takes part in teaching undergraduate courses, including Microbiology (MIC 243) and Advance Microbiology (MIC 354).

 

Bokhari’s research interests and areas of expertise fall within the major chronic health problems with a focus on studying the genotoxic and cytotoxic effects and mechanisms of products that local people are exposed to them on daily basis.
