As a dedicated neuro-oncology fellow at Moffitt Cancer Center, I am passionate about advancing cancer care through clinical expertise, innovative research, and patient advocacy. My journey began in Egypt, where I completed my residency in clinical oncology at Alexandria University Hospitals (2008–2011), laying the foundation for my career in oncology. I later earned a Doctorate in Clinical Oncology from Alexandria University in 2019, further solidifying my commitment to tackling complex challenges in cancer treatment.
My research focuses on glioblastoma multiforme (GBM), the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) in oncology, and reducing treatment-related toxicities. During my time in Dr. Purow’s laboratory at the University of Virginia, I conducted bench research testing in vitro single-agent and combination therapies in glioblastoma and melanoma. I gained expertise in complex co-culture assays and cell culture techniques, with readouts including viability and luciferase assays. Notably, I identified an unexpected single-agent toxicity of high-concentration niacin against melanoma cells, a finding that holds potential for future therapeutic exploration.
Beyond my clinical and research endeavors, I am a strong advocate for patient education. I founded a YouTube channel aimed at educating Arabic-speaking cancer patients, which has grown into a vital resource with over 3.3 million views and 44.400 subscribers.
