I have been providing lectures on physiology (neurophysiology) to 1st-year MBBS students. 

For postgraduate teaching, I have been providing lectures on biosafety, and animal biotechnology and writing publication as a part of the Biomedical Science Discipline Enhanced Development module for postgraduate students’ coursework.

I have supervised a total of 24 national and international postgraduate (honours, masters and PhD) students and 16 were successfully completed.

I am very interested to supervise postgraduate students. I am actively engaging my students via having a regular meeting, or scientific discussion, or any form of communication must always be available for them.
