About me
I am an Associate Professor of Pharmaceutics at Al-Zaytoonah University of Jordan, Faculty of Pharmacy. My primary research focus is Nanomedicine, specifically developing nanoparticle systems to improve the biopharmaceutical properties and targeting efficacy of anti-cancer drugs. I am also interested in investigating plant polyphenols as building blocks for chemically versatile nanomaterials and their use in biomedicine.
I joined AGYA to become more involved in interdisciplinary projects and to network with
like-minded Arab and German researchers.
I am specifically interested in collaborating with experts in the fields of healthcare, materials science, education, science policy, health economics, and research ethics.
