RESEARCH SCIENTIST

About Candidate

A results-driven biochemistry and molecular biology expert, I bring over a decade of cutting-edge research experience in cancer diagnostics and biomarker development. With dual degrees in Pharmacy and Science plus a PhD from Cairo University, I have unique strength in integrating bench-to-bedside approaches for early cancer detection. A strong record of developing validated diagnostic models—such as the HCC-Check index for hepatocellular carcinoma—and multiple peer-reviewed publications demonstrate my commitment to scientific advancement.

My core skills include advanced diagnostic assay design, protein biomarker quantification (ELISA, Western blot), immunohistochemistry, and translational research. I am adept at leading research teams, optimizing laboratory workflows, and communicating complex findings to multidisciplinary audiences. Fluent in English and Arabic, I have mentored clinicians, pharmacists, and scientists, participating in international conferences and training via Harvard Medical School’s Clinical Scholars Program.

My work ethic emphasizes precision, innovation, and collaboration, making me a valuable asset to any team aiming for impact in biomedical research and clinical translation. I am committed to continuous growth and translating molecular discoveries into tangible health outcomes.
