Baher A. Daihom

Baher A. Daihom, Ph.D. is a scientist with demonstrated research skills in
pharmaceutics, drug delivery, and nanotechnology. He is an assistant professor
of pharmaceutics and industrial pharmacy at the faculty of pharmacy, at Cairo
University, Egypt. His Ph.D. in pharmaceutics and industrial pharmacy focused
on developing novel gastro-retentive drug delivery systems using ion exchange
resins. He obtained his degree from Cairo University, but his research work was
done at the University of Tennessee Health Science Center, USA where he
continues to hold the position of visiting research scholar at the pharmaceutical
technology department.
Currently, he is a Fulbright visiting scholar in the pharmaceutical engineering and
3d printing lab at the division of molecular pharmaceutics and drug delivery at
the University of Texas at Austin.
His research interests include:

o Application of different techniques of 3D-printing and 3d-Bioprinting
in drug delivery
o Design and optimization of different nanoparticles and nanofibers for
drug delivery
o Pharmaceutical applications of ion-exchange resins
o Development of taste-masked formulations Pediatrics
o Development and optimization of several gastro-retentive dosage
forms.
o Polymer-based surface solid dispersion and solidified surfactant
techniques
o Ocular and intranasal drug delivery
o Repurposing of drugs for anticancer and antimicrobial activities.
