After getting a master degree in Immunology from Alexandria university, Egypt. I decided to complete my studies in Japan by enrolling in the doctoral course of Hokkaido University. I was interested in neuroimmune science. It has been found that polymorphism of some genes could be involved in the pathogenesis of some neurological diseases. Following that discovery, I focused on the mechanism by which some genes can induce the IL-6 amplifier in chronic neurological disorders through activation of the NF-κB positive feedback-loop in non-immune cells which accumulate immune cells causing chronic inflammation. These would be promising candidates as novel therapeutic targets of various inflammatory diseases.

I think I have been lucky to complete my studies in this field, especifically in my department.
