I am a Professor of medical biochemistry at the National Research Centre, Egypt. During my PhD, I joined the Department of Cancer Studies and Molecular Medicine, University of Leicester, UK, as a visiting scholar. I was a postdoctoral fellow at the German Cancer Research Centre DKFZ-Heidelberg from 2014–2015. I am an awardee of several fellowships and travel grants from eminent organizations, like Fulbright, ICGEB, Istituto Superiore di Sanità, Daniel Turnberg UK, ESMO, and EACR. In 2019, I joined the University of Texas, MD Anderson Cancer Center, as a Fulbright Visiting Faculty. In 2021, I received the State Encouragement Award in Biological Sciences from the Egyptian Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research. I am a member of the National Committee for Women in Science (Egypt) and the Egyptian Young Academy of Sciences (EYAS). I am the principal investigator (PI) and Co-PI of several projects on translational cancer research. I am a peer reviewer and editorial board member for more than 30 international scientific journals. My research work mainly focuses on delineating the functional basis and biological mechanisms through which non-coding RNAs promote and accelerate cancer.
