Within this framework, I work extensively on biological, methodological,theoretical, and empirical anchoring of the constructs of social participation, social support, post-migratory living conditions, and trauma susceptibility and resiliency among refugees. My work ispresentlyfocusedontwoareas:basicneuroscienceworkandthedesignoflongitudinalstudiesofrefugeehealth delineating the process of post-resettlement change in health in relation to social contexts.Throughthiswork,Ihaveinitiatedextensivecollaborationswiththecivilsociety,andnationalandlocalnon-profitorganizations.CONTACTINFORMATION:UniversityofHouston,CollegeofPharmacyDept.ofPharmacologicalAndPharmaceuticalSciencesHealth2Room5019HoustonTX-77204-5037,TexasOffice:713-743-1776;Lab:713-743-1228E-mail:ssalim@uh.eduEDUCATION:
