My research focuses on human immune cells responses to different pathogenic and non-pathogenic stimuli resulting in metabolic reprogramming of these cells as well as the interaction of immune cells with the surrounding nerves or vascular neighboring cells. Being pharmacy graduate, my research in pharmaceutical sciences was focused first on identifying the serine and cathepsin proteases of the parasite Schistosoma. Soon later, my research continuedfunded by the German Egyptian long term doctoral scholarship to do research on the transformation of glial and neural cells in the brain tumor “glioblastoma” at the medical faculty in Regensburg, Germany. This has been continued and extended at the medical faculty in Heidelberg in Germanyto focus on the isolation and study of polarization of innate human immune cells in response to transforming growth factors including transforming growth factor beta. Parallel, being funded by the Finnish Government Scholarship Pool at the medical faculty, University of Turku, my research work further included the effect of viruses particularly, influenza strains, on macrophages and dendritic cells. Altogether, with my work at the National Research Center in Egypt led to my doctoral graduation from the Faculty of Pharmacy, Cairo University. My research continues at Turku University; Finland, NRC; Egypt and the medical faculty of Ruprecht-Karls University of Heidelberg; Germany bridging co-knowledge to further find solutions to essential immune cells challenged by pathogens and/or different growth modulators. Many of this work have been published in high impact Q1 journals and can be viewed on my Orcid profile: https://orcid.org/0000-0003-1007-9632.

My research program focuses on the impact of environmental contaminants on bioenergetics at both the whole-body and cellular levels, particularly in the immune system, liver, and skeletal muscle. I aim to uncover novel mechanisms related to metabolism, fuel utilization, inflammation, and immunology, all with public health in mind. By exploring molecular links between cell-specific and whole-body bioenergetics and biological perturbations—such as diet, exercise, age, disease, and toxicant exposure—I seek to understand how mitochondrial energetics drive or respond to health and disease. My research pays special attention to how these mechanisms vary across subpopulations, including different ethnic groups, age ranges, disease states (diabetes, obesity, cancer), and contaminant-exposed communities. I am dedicated to a multidisciplinary approach, continually expanding my subject matter expertise to better understand the common mechanisms involved in health and disease.

My research interests are focused on identifying mechanisms of dysregulated mitochondrial metabolism by environmental chemicals, which ultimately lead to adverse health outcomes.
