Membership:-Medical Laboratory Technician and Researcher for Cyprus Government. ID Number 28/09 -Biologist membership here in Cyprus

Certification:During my academic education, I Certified in Biological Research Method, Molecular Medical Microbiology and Genet-ics experiences. Those years of my experience , I was responsible to do various experiments and methods. Additionally, I have eight years of experience as Medical Laboratory Technician applied various technical methods in Microbiology to identify micro-organism and culturing. I have the knowledge of hematology tests such as watched on microscopy and identify the Full Blood Count (FBC) which it is a routine investigation that gives information on a pa-tient’s blood cells. This can be useful as a screening test in many different situations, example raised White Blood Cell (WBC) count may indicate a response to infection and a low Hemoglobin (Hb) may indicate the presence of anae-miaother. Also, I have the knowledge of the Biochemistry blood tests and Blood bank. In my last position as Teaching assistant in laboratory for monitoring Nursing students , I was responsible for setting the lab experiments and give an introduction lecture before each experiment and grading them.

Honor:Before i go abroad for study in America, I did my services in Cyprus Army. I was honors and awards as a sergeant.
