Fellowships: : Grant from the Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research in Egypt for Ph.D. study in Hokkaido University, Japan : Scholarship from the Academy of Scientific Research and Technology, Egypt for Master study in Ain Shams University, Egypt.

2 Research Experience: Postdoctoral work: Currently: I am 1- Studying mirna replacement therapy delivery by nanoparticles against liver cancer cell stemness. 2- Testing the in vitro and in vivo Graviola extract anticancer effect on hepatocellular carcinoma and on the chemoresistant cancerous spheroid 3D model. Doctoral program: 1) Investigating the role of H60c as an NKG2D ligand expressed on mouse skin keratinocytes and identified at Department of Pathology by Prof. Dr. Kasahara team in the innate immunological response of a unique γδ T cells, dendritic epidermal T cells (DETC), for murine skin wound healing. 2) Evolutionary study in mammals and specially in primates about Skint1, an indispensable protein in selection of DETC in rodents, and the functional correlation between SKINT1L protein and Skin DETC-like cells homing and development in Old World Monkeys. Master program: Master dissertation entitled Modulation of immune response to Schistosoma mansoni through generation of DNA vaccines against selected antigens. These antigens include Calreticulin, Myosin and Calpain which are isolated and/or identified at The Unit of the Genetic Engineering and Molecular biology research by Prof. Dr. Amr Karim. We evaluated the humoral immune response and protection raised by those vaccines in a prime/boost vaccination manner using DNA and recombinant antigens vaccines. Research Technical Skills: During my study I got experience in many relevant techniques including the: 1-Molecular Biology Techniques: -Conventional and real time PCR, cloning, sequencing and sequencing data analysis, generation and purification of recombinant proteins. 2- Molecular Immunology Techniques: - Generation of monoclonal antibodies, vaccination, skin cell isolation, Western blotting, ELISA, immunohistochemistry, cytospin staining, multicolor flow cytometry analysis of immune cells, magnetic cell sorting, cytotoxicity and blocking assays and immunofluorescence microscopy. - In vitro and in vivo animal experimental experience. Efficient management of mouse colonies and dealing with the mouse models, In addition to collection and analysis of the biological samples. - Maintaining mammalian and bacterial cell cultures. 3- Bioinformatics Analysis: -Using different database tools including those found in NCBI, Ensembl, EMBL and several bioinformatics software dealing with gene, transcript, mirna and protein.

3 Research Interest: My previous and current study drives me strongly to be interested in the different innate and adaptive immunological responses against different challenges and the anticancer approaches. Moreover, I am concerned with the genetic basis controlling these responses and diseases.
