Senior Research Fellow at the Agora translational cancer research center, and the Precision Oncology, Lausanne University Hospital, Lausanne, Switzerland.

"leading a project to explore how chromatin of cancer and immune cells can be used as a predictive biomarker for immunotherapy response by using multiplexing imaging and digital image processing tools".

​

Associate professor of biophysics at the Physics Research Institute, National Research Centre, Cairo, Egypt.

Research Interests

My research focuses on studying the regulation of eukaryotic genome organization and gene expression in living cells in health and disease. For this aim, I develop my research in two directions:

 

1- Develop and use advanced quantitative single-cell imaging and computational techniques to decipher the mechanisms by which gene activity orchestrates the 4D genome arrangements in eukaryotic cells.

​

2- Apply imaging-Artificial Intelligent (AI) based single-cell chromatin method to analyze nuclear features, to determine predictive biomarkers for cell states and their transitions, phenotypic mapping of cancer progression, and treatment response such as immunotherapy.
