About me

I developed scalable fermentation and bioprocessing strategies for producing bioactive metabolites and nanoparticles, enabling potential industrial and biomedical deployment as PI in two national projects that were financially supported by the National Strategy for Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology, the Academy of Scientific Research and Technology Science and Technology Centre (2014 - 2020). Additionally, I acted as a member of two projects that were financially supported by the National Strategy for Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology (2014-2018). Moreover, I acted as a member of two projects of the Development of Advanced Nanometric Polymers for Biological Treatment of the Environment that were supported by STDF (2015-2019).
I was chosen by the National Strategy Programs Executive Committee to serve on review committees for submitted proposals and regular reports in the framework of project announcements (Initiative 2020).
I completed 60 reviews for a total of 21 journals between 2016 and 2025 using Elsevier Reviewer Hub. In addition, I finished 518 reviews at Web of Science Researcher ID: ABC-3707-2020 (2016–2025) that confirmed peer reviews.

Publications resulting from Research
Developed cost-effective, large-scale methods for producing nano-MgO and ZnO nanoparticles using endophytic Streptomyces strains and plant extracts. These nanoparticles demonstrated strong antimicrobial activity against multidrug-resistant human pathogens, with nano-MgO showing higher efficacy than conventional antibiotics in vitro. She is pioneered the use of statistical optimization (e.g., Plackett-Burman, Box-Behnken, Taguchi designs) to maximize yield and bioactivity of nanomaterials in bioreactors. She was utilized plant-based extracts (e.g., Nigella sativa seeds, citrus peel waste) for the green synthesis of complex nanocomposites (CuO/Mn3O4/ZnO), which exhibited potent antimicrobial and anticancer properties. Through other work, she was emphasized sustainability and cost-effectiveness in nanomaterial production for medical and industrial applications. Additionally, she was developed scalable fermentation and bioprocessing strategies for producing bioactive metabolites and nanoparticles, enabling potential industrial and biomedical deployment
