Assistant Professor

Dr. Aziza Adam completed her PhD degree in toxicology from Wageningen University, Wageningen, Netherlands, in April 2020. She also holds a European Registered Toxicology certificate as a professional toxicologist from EUROTOX.

She is currently an assistant professor of environment, health, and safety at Zayed Military University, Rabdan Academy. She served as an assistant professor at Khartoum University, Sudan, where she taught all levels of food toxicology and risk assessment of chemicals.

She has collaborated with Malaysian universities to conduct research on the risk assessment of mycotoxins. Her post-doctoral study was completed at the University Putra of Malaysia, Malaysia, in the Bioscience Institute, where they produced journal articles.

Her current research involves the risk assessment and management of chemicals in food and the environment. She has published over five very good papers in Q1 journals.
