Dr. Ehsan Khedre | Biology and Life Sciences | Best Researcher Award

Egyptian Drug Authority Pyramids Branch | Egypt

Dr. Ehsan Khedre is a pharmaceutical biochemistry researcher whose work spans natural product pharmacology, nanotechnology, oxidative stress, and metabolic disease. After earning her B.Pharm (Ain-Shams University, Egypt, 2004), she completed an M.Sc. in Biochemistry (Zagazig University, 2011) and a Ph.D. (Al-Azhar University, 2018) on estrogenic effects of quercetin and its nanoparticles. She has held roles at Egypt’s National Organization for Drug Control & Research (NODCAR / EDA), advancing from drug control specialist to quality manager and researcher in biochemical laboratories. Her publication record (to date > 9 peer-reviewed articles) includes studies on hepatic fibrosis, nanocarrier enhancement of phytochemicals, metabolic syndrome models, and nanoparticle biodistribution. Her citation metrics h-index of 5, total documents 7, total citations 170 reflect her growing impact in pharmacology and toxicology. Her research interests include antioxidant and anti-inflammatory natural compounds, nanoparticle delivery systems, biochemical mechanisms of organ injury, and translational approaches to metabolic and hepatic diseases. She has also contributed by serving as reviewer for journals, receiving training in quality systems (ISO 9001 / ISO 17025), scientific writing, bioinformatics, and innovation, and participating in workshops on research skills. In sum, Dr. Khedre combines deep domain expertise, laboratory leadership, and interdisciplinary scholarship to advance discovery and application of therapeutics.
