Dr. Merfat Abdulrahman Almaghrabi

 Assistant Professor

Profile

After finishing my PhD at the University of Leeds, UK, where I worked on development of rapid and sensitive detection methods, particularly immunoassays, for the study of low molecular weight components and contaminants of plant-based foods in food and human tissues. Since then, I have focused on food safety and quality; aflatoxin/mycotoxins; dietary exposure; biomarker; human health risk assessment. I am also interested in assessing some dietary intake related to quality of life among citizens to build a vibrant society that follows the Kingdom’s Vision 2030.
