Work History

Senior Researcher

Biotechnology Research Center
Damietta
03.2020 - Current
  • conducting research in the fields of cell biology and biotechnology, with a focus on investigating potential biomarkers for the early diagnosis and prognosis of multiple cancers.
  • Additionally, my role involves teaching and supervising MSc and Ph.D. graduate students.
  • established positive and encouraging relationships with students and helped to foster appreciation for biology and science.

Postdoctoral Associate

Stony Brook University
NY
12.2016 - 01.2020
  • contributed to and actively participated in research conception, design, and execution to address defined problems.
  • authored professional scientific papers for publication in peer-reviewed journals.
  • managed all research documentation according to strict standards.
  • attended conferences, lectures, and events to further knowledge of the field and present findings in research seminars.
  • studied the molecular mechanisms of acute kidney injury (AKI) and chronic kidney disease (CKD) using in vitro and in vivo approaches.
  • mentored and taught students and investigated whether KLF 15 and KLF 6 play a critical role in this transition. KLFs are a family of transcription factors that regulate various cellular processes.
  • My work has confirmed KLFs as potential therapeutic targets for preventing and treating AKI and CKD.
  • developed unique research into molecular biology and medical research.

Visiting scholar

Institute of Chemical Biology & Drug Discovery, Stony Brook University
NY
03.2016 - 11.2016


  • evaluated existing research techniques to recommend improvements.
  • conducted research in cancer biology, with a focus on investigating novel therapeutic options for colon and prostate cancer.
  • My goal was to gain expertise in cell biology, biotechnology, and molecular biology to investigate cancer stem cells and their role in tumor development and resistance to anti-cancer therapies.
  • My work helps in developing and using in vitro and in vivo models to discover and develop drug targets for CSCs.
  • Additionally, to help in evaluating next-generation taxoids like SBT-1214 to combat the multi-drug resistance of tumors and the nonspecific action of current drugs,
