| Received my Ph. D. in 2005 from the University of Tokyo, Japan. From 2005. Starting from 2005 I was a research scientist, in the Genomics, Proteomics, and Bioinformatics facility at Agricultural Genetic Engineering Research Institute (AGERI). I headed the nucleic acid and protein chemistry department inside AGERI. From 2010 to 2011 I was the deputy director of AGERI. I am the instructor of the Bioinformatics course in the Faculty of Biotechnology since 2007 and I am the Vice Dean for Research & Postgraduate Studies of the faculty. I was the Personal Investigator, for the development and enhancement of butanol production in E. coli. A research project funded by Science & Technology Development Fund (STDF), Egypt. I am Senior Researcher, in the first next-generation sequencing project in Egypt for the De novo Sequencing and Assembly of the Egyptian Buffalo Genome Project. Also, I served as a molecular biologist in many projects such as the conservation and utilization of Egyptian wild flora to improve salinity tolerance in cereals project and the development of functional markers through association analysis of candidate genes for drought tolerance in the barley project. I was a visiting researcher at the University of Tokyo in 2007 and at Kobe University, Japan in 2010 and 2013. I joined many workshops for harmonization of GMO detection and analysis organized by the European Commission Joint Research Centre (JRC) in 2014 in Italy, 2013 in Jordan, 2012 in South Africa, and 2010 in South. Also, in NGS analysis in Darmstadt, Germany in 2010 and 2011. I am currently joining many research teams for NGS analysis of viruses such as corona, H5N1, and H5N8. |
