PhD Student
University of Groningen, Netherlands
I am a third-year PhD student who joined Dr. Flavia Sousa's laboratory in July 2023. In my PhD journey, we are focusing on gene and protein delivery to develop nanovaccines for treating Glioblastoma.
A brief introduction of myself, I obtained my Master's degree in Drug Delivery of Nanomedicine as part of the Erasmus Mundus joint master's degree (EMJMD) in 2022, where I did an internship for 3-months in gene delivery at the University of Paris and a thesis internship for 6-months in protein delivery in i3s institute in University of Porto. In addition, I got my Bachelor's degree in Science of Pharmacy from Jordan University of Science and Technology in 2018. Before starting the academic journey, I worked in both a research laboratory and the community pharmacy to explore the pharmacy field, and my curiosity in nanomedicine guided me happily. Also, after my master's and before my PhD, I worked for a short time in the industry in the field of developing vaccines, and it encouraged me to continue my academic journey.
The PhD journey is not only about science in a closed laboratory, but also I am joining some scientific meetings from time to time; conferences, workshops, and seminars. I am also keen to know if I will reach other goals I set beside pursing the degree, is to improve my tennis and sewing skills, and hopefully, improving the leadership skills.
