Summary Statement
In 1994, Prof. Saleem Ali Banihani completed his high school from Irbid Secondary
School and joined the School of Science at Jordan University of Science and Technology
(JUST) to study Analytical Chemistry (Medical analytical chemistry) with a full scholarship.
During his Bachelor, Prof. Saleem was one of the honored students (name was on the dean list)
as of his distinguished academic performance. After graduating from JUST in 1999, Prof.
Saleem perused his higher education in the School of Medicine-Department of Medical
Technology in the field of Clinical Biochemistry at JUST and earned his master’s degree in
2002. During the master, Prof. Saleem was a full-time lecturer in Department of Biochemistry
and Molecular Biology-School of Medicine at JUST. Besides, because of his high
qualifications and abilities in teaching and research, Prof. Saleem succeeded to occupy the
demanded position in Clinical Chemistry at Faculty of Applied Medical Sciences (FAMS)-
Department of Medical Laboratory Sciences (MLS), which was based on a differential equation
between several applicants. In this career, Prof. Saleem demonstrated remarkable teaching and
research capabilities that enabled him, with a full-time scholarship, to successfully join the only
and the highly competitive program of Clinical Chemistry in the United States, which is a joint
program between Cleveland Clinic and Cleveland State University, OH. During the PhD, Prof.
Saleem has completed a Research fellowship in Andrology (RFA) from the Reproductive
Center at Cleveland Clinic and published several articles in highly reputed international
journals as a result of important findings that globally impacted the clinical biochemistry route

of Assisted Reproductive Technologies procedures. Also, during his PhD, Prof. Saleem won
several awards such as the first oral presentation in international conferences, the best lecturer
in the department among the PhD students, the Molecular Medicine award, the Cleveland
Clinic foundation appreciation award, and the student life award. In addition to the Clinical
Chemistry specialty, as an honored PhD student, Prof. Saleem was also able to acquire a
subspecialty in Molecular Medicine and graduate with the highest GPA (3.97) among the PhD
graduates.
In 2011, Prof. Saleem joined the Department of MLS at JUST as a faculty member
(Assistant Professor). And, since 2012-2018, Prof. Saleem has worked in different
administrative positions in the FAMS such as Chairperson of Department of MLS and Vice
Dean of FAMS. During this period, intellectually and via collective intelligence, Prof. Saleem
has established several teaching and research laboratories, managed the international
accreditation in all departments, led the ISO file, developed several academic programs,
restructured the public safety in all teaching laboratories of the faculty, served in almost all
committees of FAMS and several committees at the level of JUST, directed various committee
services programs, launched number of important regulations at the level of both FAMS and
JUST, and won the MENA award on behalf of JUST as a distinguished institution.
Additionally, Prof. Saleem served in many highly ranked committees in the Ministry of Higher
Education and Scientific Research and chaired the committee that reviewed and developed the
manual of quality assurance standards for faculties of Allied Medical Sciences in Jordan.
In 2016, it is worth mentioning that Prof. Saleem has earned a research fellowship in
Responsible Conduct of Research from California University-San Diego, USA. Besides,
academically, also in 2016, Prof. Saleem promoted (early promotion) to associate professor. In
2019, Prof. Saleem has won the distinguished teacher prize at the level of FAMS. And in the
next year, he was promoted to full Professor with seniority, which is the first promotion with
seniority in FAMS.
Further, to date, Prof. Saleem has supervised more than 30 master students, and in 2019,
he won the prize of being the supervisor of the best master thesis at the level of JUST. In
parallel, Prof. Saleem handled numerous local, national, and international grants and published,
as yet more than 58 articles in highly reputed Journals, mainly in the fields of andrology and
clinical nutrition, then, in 2020, he was recognized as one of the top 2% influential researchers
in the world according to the report published by Stanford University.
Furthermore, Prof. Saleem has presented in more than 18 international conferences,
invited in some of these conferences as keynote speaker, assigned in the advisory board of
international conferences, and chosen as a chairman of important international conferences. On
top of that, Prof. Saleem completed more than 23 professional independent courses and
workshops and established the Assisted Reproductive Technologies LABs and their related
courses at FAMS as well. So far, the published work by Prof. Saleem conquered a very high
press international coverage. Currently, Prof. Saleem is serving as a reviewer in more than 22
well-recognized international Journals, and he is a member in several national and international
scientific and social committees.
