Curriculum Vitae and research interest in short

                                         

Education

-PhD in Plant Biochemistry from Cambridge University, UK (1988), Department of Biological Sciences.

-Associate Prof. in Plant Physiology and Biochemistry (1995), Botany Department, Faculty of Science, Mansoura University, Egypt.

-Full Prof. of Plant Physiology and Biochemistry (2000), Botany Department, Faculty of Science, Mansoura University, Egypt.

 

Research interests

Scientific aspects including mechanism of allelopathy, kinetics of industrial enzymes, antioxidant system in plants and plant bioactive compounds.

A research group working on the mechanism of allelopathic response of several plants, including both crop plants and wild species, enzymes technology and metabolic pathways under stress conditions. Now the focus is mainly related to the molecular sites and the mode of action of several allelochemicals.

 

Supervision

 

-50 Master and PhD students. In addition, currently 30 candidates from Egypt and Algeria working on Master and  PhD topics under his guidance

Publications

-150 scientific papers in national and international journals in the field of industrial enzymes, plant stress and allelopathy. 

- Member of scientific committees and as reviewer for several scientific journals etc.
