After having completed my Bachelor's degree in Pharmacy from Alexandria University, Egypt in 2011, I went on to achieve my Master's degree (2017) in Clinical Biochemistry before successfully completing my PhD (2021) specialising in Biochemistry from the Medical Research Institute, Alexandria University in Egypt.

I began my academic career at Pharos University in Alexandria, Egypt in 2011, where I taught several levels and various modules to Pharmacy undergraduate students. During my career in academia I have led several modules including Medicinal chemistry, Cell Biology and Biochemistry. In terms of leadership, I was appointed quality assurance coordinator of the Chemistry department and was a part of the 'Teaching Programs' Quality Assurance Unit.

I was appointed Lecturer in Genetics and Molecular Biology at Kingston University London in 2022, where I obtained a Fellowship of the Higher Education Academy in July 2023. I was appointed deputy course leader of both BSc Biochemistry and Biological Sciences in September 2023.

My research interest is primarily cancer biology. I have previously worked with cancer patients at the Medical Research Institute in Alexandria, Egypt between 2012-2021, where I studied various aspects of disease progression ranging from oxidative status of the tumour, the genomics involved in the onset of the disease and finally its clinicopathological status.
