About

I am currently enrolled as a PhD student at the University of Alberta, having begun my studies in the Fall of 2022. Originally from Egypt, I am deeply passionate about research and am actively involved in the Neuro-ARC study at the Faculty of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences. Volunteering is a significant part of my life, and I am honored to have served as the President of the Pharmacy Graduate Students' Association (PGSA) for 2024/25, President of the Egyptian Students' Association (2023/24), VP-Academics (2022/23) and VP-Finance (2023/24) for PGSA, and Coordinator for VP-Academics for the International Students' Association (2022/23). Squash is my favorite sport!

Research

Areas of Interest

Clinical Pharmacokinetics, Neurocritical Care, Translational Knowledge

My overall research goal

My research goal is to improve therapeutic outcomes for neurocritically ill patients. These patients often experience altered pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics, necessitating thorough investigation to enhance treatment efficacy. My work focuses on characterizing the phenomenon of Augmented Renal Clearance in neurocritically ill patients and studying its impact on the pharmacokinetics of drugs commonly used in critical care. By translating benchside and bedside observations into clinical practice protocols, we aim to develop strategies that significantly improve therapeutic outcomes.
