Discussion of the master's thesis of the student "Duaa Ahmed Ibrahim"

The public discussion took place for the master’s student (Duaa Ahmed Ibrahim) Department of Biology - College of Science - University of Anbar on Tuesday, 9, September, 2025, in Ibn Sina Hall. for his tagged thesis:

" The Effect of Curcumin and Nanocurcumin in The Lifespan and Some Physiological Aspects in Drosophila melanogaster "

The discussion committee consisted of:

University of Anbar - College of Agriculture - President	Prof. Dr. Thaer Rashid Mohammed
University of Maaref - Department of Pathological Analysis - Member	Assist. Prof. Dr. Ezz El-Din Attia Al-Bayyar
University of Al-Iraqiya - College of Medicine - Member	Assist. Prof. Dr. Sinan Adnan Abdul Latif
University of Anbar - College of Sciences - member and supervisor	Prof. Dr. Mohammed Qais Abd
University of Anbar - College of Sciences - member and supervisor	Prof. Dr. Ismat Ramzi Abdul Ghafour

The study aimed to investigate the impact of curcumin and nanocurcumin on the lifespan and physiological parameters by using fruit flies as a model organism. The most important findings of the study were that nanocurcumin is more effective compared to curcumin and the control group in extending the lifespan and improving physiological parameters; it enhances the antioxidant system, climbing ability, oviposition, body weight, and anesthesia time and makes changes in total protein and protein pattern via SDS-PAGE profile in fruit flies, mainly by reducing oxidative stress, highlighting its potential for future biological applications.
