Research project: Development of molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) -assisted sensitive analytical methodologies for detection and monitoring of protein biomarkers

Abstract

Development of rapid, simple and sensitive analytical methodologies based on Molecular Imprinted Polymers (MIP) for detection and quantification of protein biomarkers in different clinical samples and to optimise and validate the developed methods to reach the designated performance criteria. The study will go on to apply the developed methods for detection of these biomarkers in patients.

Biography

I had my Bsc degree in pharmaceutical sciences in 2013 from faculty of pharmacy, Assiut university, Egypt. I got hired by the university as a demonstrator in same year of graduation. I did my masters in pharmaceutical sciences (pharmaceutical analytical chemistry) in 2018 and i was hired afterwards as an assistant lecturer in Faculty of pharmacy, Assiut university, Egypt. Now i am PhD student at kingston university with my research focus on biomarkers and molecularly imprinted polymers as an effective tool of extraction and analysis.
