MBChB, MSc, PhD

Dr Hayder Al-Aubaidy joined the School of Community Health in June 2008 as a postdoctoral researcher & lecturer. Hayder teaches into various subjects of biomedical sciences including anatomy, physiology pathophysiology and pharmacology.

Hayder's research is in the field of oxidative stress / antioxidants in chronic illnesses mainly diabetes mellitus. He is working in the Diabetes Screening Complications Research Initiative (DiScRi) investigating markers of oxidative stress / antioxidants, aiming to identify simple, easy to measure, accurate and precise marker/s of help in monitoring disease progression and development of complications.

Teaching

Hayder believes that Learning is an active and continuing process where the lecturer provides and maintains an appropriate guidance of the students in attaining subject objectives. This should be applied for all the students from different disciplines and diverse backgrounds. Hayder has organised the classes for the subjects that he coordinates according to these bases.

Subjects Delivered
  • BMS171  Introduction to human functional anatomy
  • BMS172  Functional anatomy of vertebral column, pelvic girdle and lower limb
  • BMS271  Functional anatomy of the head, neck, pectoral girdle and upper limb
  • BMS162  Health and human body - Cardiovascular, renal and respiratory systems
  • BMS263  Pharmacology for allied health professionals
  • BMS255  Neuroscience for health practice
Innovations in Teaching

Hayder encourage students' engagement through the use of various teaching modalities & online resources, integration of real life experience and highlighting the clinical applications relevant to the particular subject to enable them to realise the importance of learning these subjects.

Previous studies have showed that graduates from accredited courses depending on student-centred approach have advanced communication ability and participate effectively in a multi-disciplinary and multi-cultural teams.  These multiple advantages mean that most of Hayder’s lectures and tutorials are based on the student-centred approach.

Research

Hayder's research focuses on the parameters of oxidative stress/antioxidants in type 2 diabetes mellitus and prediabetes.  He is working in the Diabetes Screening Program, aiming to find simple, reliable, accurate and easy to measure biochemical marker(s) useful in monitoring the progress of diabetic conditions and predict the prognosis.  It can also be used to assess the development of diabetic complications and to monitor the response to the treatment.
