Dr. Dina Aboelsoued
About me
I am an Associate Research Professor of Parasitology at the Veterinary Research Institute, National Research Centre (NRC), Egypt. My research focuses mainly on zoonotic protozoan parasites affecting farm animals, particularly Cryptosporidium and Giardia, using immunological, molecular, and diagnostic approaches within a One Health framework.
I am actively involved in national research projects, postgraduate training, and capacity building, with a strong interest in translating scientific research into practical solutions for animal health, food safety, and public health. I am also engaged in science communication, peer review, and initiatives that support women in science and sustainable development.
