My research bridges computational oncology and experimental biology to accelerate the development of translatable therapeutic strategies. Trained as a pharmacist at Ain Shams University in Cairo, I developed an early appreciation for the full arc of drug development—from foundational biological discovery to direct patient benefit. I went on to pursue a Master's degree in Genetics from SUNY-Buffalo and a PhD in Bioinformatics at the University of Michigan, building the statistical and computational foundation needed to extract meaningful biology from large-scale, complex data. My doctoral work centered on deciphering the epithelial and stromal co-evolution patterns driving pancreatic cancer progression. Now a postdoctoral fellow in the Chan lab, I use single-cell RNA-seq and spatial transcriptomics to dissect the tumor-intrinsic and extrinsic determinants of plasticity in lung cancer.
