The Department of Medical Laboratory Sciences supports and encourages faculty members to submit various types of scientific research projects in order to obtain the necessary financial and technical support from the Deanship of Scientific Research and Graduate Studies at the university. The research interests of faculty members vary and include:

Biological and functional aspects of blood stem cells, their dysregulation, and their role in the formation of malignant blood tumors.

Complications of regular blood transfusions in patients with hemoglobinopathy (beta thalassemia major and sickle cell anemia)

Molecular evolution and epidemiology of microorganisms and parasites that cause infectious diseases using advanced molecular techniques.

The intersection between biochemistry and cancer biology and exploration of the role of different metabolic pathways and altered metabolic profiles in the initiation and spread of different types of cancer.

Studies related to cardiovascular diseases and diseases resulting from stress and psychological pressure.

Regulation of the immune system's immune responses by linking different types inhibitory immune-receptors expressed on different immune cells with autoimmune diseases and tumors.

Study of the biochemical dynamics of certain vitamins, such as B12, and their clinical importance and therapeutic potential using advanced tools such as machine learning, in-silico modeling, and contemporary analytical method.

The department also encourages faculty members to participate in local and international scientific conferences and attend or hold various scientific workshops. Attracting and retaining highly qualified faculty members is considered the cornerstone of the success of the department's mission. the scientific and research mission of the faculty, the department has provided its members with research laboratories in various disciplines. There are now about four research laboratories covering the following disciplines: (biochemistry, microbiology, virology, parasitology, molecular biology, and anatomy).

The department intends to open two new laboratories to accommodate master's students and encourage scientific research, creative and analytical thinking, and practical and technical skills among students to enhance and support medical academic education in understanding the mechanism of disease occurrence and diagnosis in humans, thereby contributing to its treatment using laboratory evidence and clinical tests.

It should be noted that some faculty members from the department have received external support and funding to conduct scientific research.
