                                                                                                             June 1993 to September 2015.

I'm not only work with veterinary practices that deliver veterinary care directly to large animal (beef cattle, Dairy cattle) farmer, but also with the broader animal health industry, including manufacturers and distributors of animal pharmaceuticals and other medical products, as well as providers of business products and services designed for veterinarians and veterinary practices.

I was a member of the research team for several major studies of the veterinary profession (Pfizer Animal Health, Egypt, Medical Professions For Veterinary Products & Fodders Additions Company (MUVCO, Egypt) and Newpharma research center AB (Sweden) (Pharmaswede, Egypt), as well as several studies involving aspects of veterinary practice operations prepared on the behalf of companies in the animal health industry.

♣ The Ohio State University, Columbus, Ohio, USA

Visiting Associate Professor,

Division of Medicinal Chemistry and Pharmacognosy, College of Pharmacy.                                                                                  .                        

May 2010- July 2011.

Worked under GLP Conditions.

Participated in all laboratory and group functions, gaining experience in Analytical work and related areas. 

Contributed to an NIH funded research projects.

Worked on two projects “Synthesis and evaluation of amino acid prodrugs of 3-Carboranyl Thymidine Analogues (3-CTAs) for Boron Neutron Capture Therapy (BNCT)” and “Synthesis of N5 and N5-2OH Phosphates”.

My primary focus was to conduct analytical studies for the synthesized compounds and calculate the half-lives for the synthesized compounds in Phosphate Buffer Saline (PBS), Bovine Serum and Bovine Cerebrospinal Fluid (CSF), also investigate the water solubility’s of the amino acid ester pro-drugs, evaluated in Phosphate Buffered Saline at pH 5, pH 6 and pH 7.4.

 

Scientist,

Pharmacology Department, College of Medicine

            April 2009 – April 2010.

Worked under GLP Conditions.

Participated in all laboratory and group functions, gaining experience in pharmacogenomics and related areas.  Specifically, contributed to a research project focusing on the genetics of cholesterol ester transfer protein (CETP), an important shuttle for cholesterol form HDL to LDL.  CETP has long been considered a key factor in risk for coronary artery disease, but the genetics of this complex gene have remained enigmatic.  I completed a series of genotyping assays in a cohort of 1,500 coronary artery disease subjects, contributing substantively to this research project. The results have helped determine the key defect in CETP, and regulatory variants as potential risk factors for CAD, or response to lipid lowering drugs.
