Professor of Pharmaceutics

I am a Professor of Pharmaceutics. I have a degree in Pharmacy and an MPhil in Pharmaceutical Technology from the University of Tanta, Egypt. I earned my PhD in Pharmaceutical Technology from the School of Pharmacy, University of Bradford.

I was appointed as a Lecturer in Pharmaceutics at the University of Sunderland where I was promoted to Senior Lecturer in 2009, Reader in 2013 and then Professor in 2019.

I have published a significant number of papers on various fields of pharmaceutics, evident from over 130 publications including journal articles, book chapters, and conference papers. I supervised many PhD students to their successful completion and I'm currently supervising a number of PhD students.

My research is reflected in teaching and accordingly, based on my experience in formulations of both small and large drug molecules. I designed MSc Pharmaceutical and BioPharmaceutical Formulations which is one of the few masters courses in the UK that covers biopharmaceuticals as well as pharmaceuticals.

I am a book editor, an editorial board member for some journals in pharmaceutical sciences, a reviewer for several national and international pharmaceutics journals, and a reviewer for new book proposals (Elsevier Publisher and CRS Press). I presented keynote and invited speeches at different conferences worldwide. I also chair scientific sessions at national and international pharmaceutical conferences.

I'm currently a Pharmaceutics Subject External Examiner for the MPharm programme at the University of Portsmouth (2021-2025) and external examiner for MSc Pharmaceutical Technology and Medicines Control at the University of Bradford (2022-2026). I have been appointed as external examiner for MSc Pharmaceutical Science and MSc Pharmaceutical Science with Management Studies (2016-2020), Kingston University. Recently I acted as external examiner for 19 PhD and 1 MSc-by research examinations at different universities in the UK and for 11 PhD/MPhil theses abroad. 

I have been the recipient of many awards from different conferences and symposia. Due to my own expertise in pharmaceutical techniques (eg spray drying), Sunderland was a project partner of the EPSRC/EHDA network with more than 20 partners from industry and academia from across the UK.

I attracted funding from overseas governments, engaged externally, and provided consultancy to the pharmaceutical industry.
