Biography
I'm working in the Biophysics Department, Faculty of Sciences, Cairo University, Giza, Egypt as a Lecturer then Associate Professor starting from the year 2013. My interest in Molecular Biophysics pushes me to work in Structural Bioinformatics and Drug Design to find potent inhibitors against viral and pathogenic fungal proteins utilizing in silico techniques. During the past 6 years, I focused my research on polymerase protein due to its vital role in the life cycle of the pathogenic organisms. I studied also other proteins like protease, estrogen receptors and kinases. Currently, I'm working on fungal CotH kinase family proteins crucial for Mucormycosis virulence and the unfolded protein response master chaperone protein, GRP78.
