A biomedical scientist and self-motivated researcher with over 10 years of experience in drug delivery systems, with unique and multidisciplinary skills combined with a passion to see my research, make a difference in people’s lives. I joined the Children’s Cancer Institute, UNSW in July 2018 to conduct my PhD studies on developing innovative therapeutics for the treatment of one of the high-risk haematologic malignancies in children and adults: Philadelphia-chromosome like Acute Lymphoblastic leukaemia (Ph-ALL). 

Before joining the Institute, I worked as a Researcher and Assistant Lecturer at the Department of Pharmaceutics and Industrial Pharmacy, Faculty of Pharmacy, Ain Shams University in Egypt, where my research focused on the development and evaluation of innovative nanoparticles to improve the skin delivery of drugs. Here, I developed expertise in several cutting-edge knowledge in nanotechnology and received a master’s degree in Drug Technology.

To date, my research has been internationally recognised as first-author peer-reviewed publications in high-impact journals such as the International Journal of Biological Macromolecules. I have also given multiple international presentations at world-class conferences, including the American Society of Haematology. I am also partnering with the UNSW by holding an appointment as a Conjoint Associate Lecturer in the School of Clinical Medicine, Faculty of Medicine at UNSW Sydney.
