The Faculty of Pharmacy at Tishk International University organized educational visits to Bio Labs, Erbil, an advanced biomedical laboratory. The visits took place over six weeks on October 30, November 6 & 27, and December 4, 11 & 17, 2024.

These visits aimed to provide pharmacy students with practical exposure to laboratory equipment and techniques essential for modern diagnostics. Guided by Dr. Dania Awni Kamal, students were introduced to devices such as spectrophotometers, hematology analyzers, and centrifuge machines. The laboratory staff demonstrated how diagnostic tests are performed and explained the function and importance of each device. Students also gained insights into equipment calibration, accuracy, and maintenance.

This initiative successfully bridged the gap between theoretical knowledge and real-world applications, helping students understand the role of biomedical technology in healthcare. The visit was facilitated by Dr. Abdulsamad Salahuddin, Dean of the Faculty of Pharmacy, and Dr. Mohammad Javed Naim, Head of the Pharmacy Department.
