Dana grew up in South Kurdistan, Hawler (Erbil). He obtained
his BSc in pharmacy from the University of Salahaddin in 2002 and his MSc in medicinal chemistry from Hawler Medical University in 2007, after which he was employed as an assistant lecturer in medicinal chemistry.
In 2014, he obtained his PhD in medicinal chemistry from the University of Central Lancashire under the supervision of Dr Tim Snape and he has since returned to his previous university as a lecturer in medicinal chemistry.
The development of metal-free α-arylations of carbonyl compounds (commonly occurring motifs in biologically interesting molecules and important classes of medication such as typical antipsychotics and opioids) as an alternative synthetic approach that operates under mild conditions and developing the first example of asymmetric Truce–Smiles rearrangement.
Asymmetric α-acylation of carbonyl compounds via the Baker-Venkataraman rearrangements to provide enantiopure 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds.
