Based on the keenness of the Faculty of science to enhance scientific activities and strengthen academic cooperation between Iraqi universities, and the exchange of scientific experiences between professors, the lecturer in the Department of life sciences at our college, professor Dr. Anmar Ahmed Dawood, participated in the discussion of a master’s thesis at the Faculty of Health Sciences – University of Duhok, on Thursday, April 16, 2026.

The tagged message came:

Genotyping of High and Low Risk Human Papillomavirus Isolated from Head and Neck Tumors in Kurdistan Region of Iraq

Which was submitted by the student mozhda Ahmed Ali.

The study aimed to show that squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck associated with HPV is rare in the Kurdistan region of Iraq, which highlights the importance of other risk factors, and also indicated that the expression of protein 16 alone may not be an accurate indicator of virus-related tumors, while the integrated analysis of the genotype of the virus with protein 16 provides a more accurate assessment of the origin of the tumor.

At the end of the discussion, Dr. Anmar Ahmed Daoud was honored by the dean of the faculty with a letter of thanks and appreciation, in appreciation of his outstanding scientific efforts and his active contribution to the success of the work of the discussion Committee.

In conclusion, the Faculty of science wishes all its dear professors continued success in their scientific career.
