About me

It was a while since I got my PhD from University of Marburg in Germany after receiving a fellowship to implement my proposed project on the therapeutic roles of microRNAs in colon cancer. Briefly, My PhD was focusing on Non-viral mediated delivery of microRNAs in colon cancer.I published my first author paper in cancer research in 2011 and for the first time as it was mentioned in this paper I discovered the effective role of miR-145 against colon cancer in addition to miR-143.I have more than 6 years of experience in cancer research, drug delivery, microRNAs in colon, bladder cancer and glioma. Currently, I am working on isolation and characterization of extracellular vesicles in colon cancer and focusing on the role of exosomes as diagnostic biomarkers and/or therapeutic agents. Moreover I have another project, which is focusing the role of micobiota in the gut and their roles in terms of inflammation and carcinogenesis colon cancer.
