Dr. Tarek Abd El-Aziz

Dr. Tarek Mohamed Abd El-Aziz is a Senior Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio. He received a Ph.D. degree from the Grenoble Institut des Neurosciences in 2016. He worked for almost 13 years at the Minia University (Demonstrator 2007-2011; Assistant Lecturer 2011–2016; Lecturer 2016–2019). He was a Postdoctoral Researcher at the Kyoto University in 2018. The focus of his research is to understand the molecular mechanisms that govern the regulation of ion channels and cell surface receptors in physiological and pathological states. Experimental approaches that he commonly uses to study ion channels include electrophysiology, structural biology, cell biology, biochemistry, and animal models. His research scope is multidisciplinary and he is interested in understanding from the molecule to the whole animal.
