Dr. Zeba F. Alam
Associate Professor
Educational Background
PhD in Radiation Genetics & Chemical Toxicology
Jawahar Lal Nehru University, India
Dr. Alam obtained her Ph.D. in Radiation Genetics and Chemical Toxicology from School of Life Sciences, Jawahar Lal Nehru University, India and Sylvius Laboratorium, Department of Radiation Genetics and Chemical Mutagenesis, The Netherlands. She has worked in various positions in different countries such as India, Netherlands, Sri Lanka, and Philippines. She has published a number of research papers in various international journals including chapters in books related to Biotechnology, Genetic Engineering, cytogenetics, environmental biomonitoring and e waste toxicity. I am also on the editorial board of scientific journals and a regular Reviewer for research papers submitted to various journals.
