Though I have always been interested in molecular biology and pharmacology at any level, I developed a strong fascination for cognitive and molecular neuroscience, especially in the context of studying neurodegenerative diseases. I graduated from the Pharmacy school, worked as a clinical pharmacist in Egypt then I found my way to Neurasmus. I got to explore Neuroscience through two prominent research centres in Göttingen and Bordeaux where I could conduct a cutting-edge research and help understanding disease mechanisms. I really appreciate the great opportunity that Neurasmus gave me to channel my passions and meet Neurasmates from all over the world. Taking my next career steps, I have started my PhD in Göttingen focusing on Parkinson’s disease using patient-derived induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs).
