Biography

Following an MSc in pharmaceutical formulation sciences, I received a PhD in drug delivery and tissue engineering at the University of Nottingham, UK. Since then, I continued a series of collaborative research projects in drug delivery, biomedical engineering, and regenerative medicine at Alexandria University, Egypt. At the University of Nottingham in the Axon Biology Lab, I work on mediators of nociception and novel therapeutic targets in OA pain.
