Teaching
Practical sessions in microbiology and hematology, designed to follow the lecture material and to give students direct experience with the bench techniques they will use professionally.

Lab & Academic Work
A glimpse of the teaching laboratory and the daily academic environment in which Dr. Hassani has spent his career.
The laboratory
A teaching environment
The Department of Microbiology and Hematology at the Faculty of Pharmacy, University of Damascus, maintains a teaching laboratory designed primarily around the needs of students. Equipment is well-maintained, the protocols are standardised, and the daily work follows the rhythm of the academic year.
The laboratory is the central place of instruction. Students learn here to prepare media, to recognise colony morphology, to read a Gram stain, to interpret a peripheral blood film, and to keep the kind of patient, careful records that define good laboratory practice.

Activities
Daily academic work
Teaching, research, supervision, and the routine practical work of the laboratory.
Research
Sustained research aligned with the teaching mission — particularly in legionella infections, antimicrobial resistance, and the standardisation of laboratory protocols, with international collaborators in Dresden and Saarland.
Student supervision
Supervision of pharmacy and laboratory science students undertaking master's and doctoral projects, with emphasis on careful technique, accurate record-keeping, and responsible scientific writing.
Practical laboratory work
Routine laboratory operations supporting teaching: preparation of media, microscopy, staining, susceptibility testing, blood film examination, and quality control of routine procedures.
