What I'm looking for

I seek a collaborative environment that values research innovation and mentorship.

As a dedicated medicinal chemist with over 13 years of experience, I have successfully managed multiple research projects focusing on Keap-Nrf2 protein-protein interactions, various kinases, and immuno-oncology targets. My strong publication record in major journals underscores my commitment to advancing the field of medicinal chemistry. I excel in collaborating with chemists and structural biologists, fostering productive research environments that encourage innovation and discovery.

Currently, I serve as a lecturer at Mansoura University, where I develop and deliver engaging lectures and laboratory sessions for pharmacy students. My teaching philosophy integrates problem-based learning and interactive methodologies, ensuring that students not only grasp theoretical concepts but also apply them in practical settings. I am passionate about mentoring the next generation of scientists, guiding both master's and PhD students in their research endeavors.
