Dr. Taghread Hudaib is a senior lecturer at the School of Pharmacy and a former senior biomedical scientist with extensive experience in clinical chemistry/human specimen analysis, and pharmacognosy/phytochemical bioactivity. She served as a research assistant in pharmacognosy and Haemorheology at the University of Jordan from 1993 to 1997. Following this, she worked as a senior biomedical scientist at Jordan University Hospital from 1998 to 2004, with rotations in various medical laboratories including immunology, biochemistry, histopathology, haematology, microbiology/parasitology, emergency, and outpatient labs. In 2006, she joined the School of Life Sciences at the University of Lincoln as laboratory staff, where she was responsible for preparing and teaching practical sessions in haematology, microbiology, nutrition, and physiology. She obtained her PhD from Lincoln University, focusing on the phytochemical bioactivity of bean extracts, and subsequently pursued a post-doctoral research fellowship in chemical communications. Dr. Hudaib transitioned to the School of Pharmacy at the University of Lincoln in 2015, where she teaches human anatomy and physiology, genetics, phytochemistry and herbal medicine, clinical trials, and biomarkers. Her research area includes phytochemical bioactivity, VOCs as biomarkers, and alternative biological models. Beyond her professional pursuits, Dr. Hudaib has a keen interest in Arabic phonology and literacy.

Subject Specialisms

As a biomedical scientist, I specialize in pharmacognosy and phytochemical bioactivity, with a focus on anti-aging, antimicrobial properties, and sleep regulation. My expertise lies in the study of natural products and biomarkers, particularly volatile organic compounds (VOCs), serving as indicators of biological activity and potential therapeutic targets.
