Lab of: Prof. Dr. Oliver Eickelberg Extensive research in Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) Liaision with key stakeholders in the field to establish collaborationsDesign and conduction of experimentsManagement of related resourcesWeekly presentations and progress reportsPresentation of results in conferences, fairs and collaboration meetings

Lab of: Prof. Dr. Mona Bakr and Dr. Mohamed Abdel-MottalebThe aim of the project was to engineer and design new class of biocompatible nano-materials to be used as chemotherapeutics’ carriers, in an attempt to minimize the side effects of chemotherapy, as well as to enhance their efficiency in cancer treatment. The work was carried out to combine the advantages of metallic Silver nano-particles (AgNPs), and chemotherapeutic drug 6-mercaptupurine (6-MP); by high compatibility loading. Moreover, to study the anti-viral activity of AgNPs against Mouse Mammary Tumor Viruses MMTVs (one causative agent in initiating tumorgenisis in healthy breast tissues).
