Prof. Dr. Hossam Hassan | Food Chemistry | Professor at University of Kut, Iraq

Prof. Dr. Hossam Hassan is a distinguished pharmaceutical scientist specializing in Pharmacognosy and Natural Product Chemistry, currently serving as the Vice-Dean for Postgraduate Affairs at Nahda University in Beni-Suef (since 2019) and holding an Associate Professor position at both Beni-Suef and Nahda Universities. Prof. Dr. Hossam Hassan’s educational background is robust, including a Ph.D. in Pharmaceutical Sciences (2010) through a joint supervision “Channel system” between the University of Louisiana and Beni-Suef University, a Postdoctoral Fellowship at the prestigious Scripps Institute of Oceanography, UCSD (2013-2014), and a Master’s degree from Cairo University (2006), recognized as the best thesis that year. Prof. Dr. Hossam Hassan’s extensive research interests lie in the isolation and structure elucidation of bioactive compounds, particularly from marine sources, focusing on flavonoids, diterpenoids, alkaloids, and peptides. His core professional experience includes managing the Central Research Laboratory at NUB and utilizing high-level research skills such as advanced spectroscopic analysis (1D and 2D NMR, LC/MS, GC/MS), molecular modeling techniques like 3D-QSAR and pharmacophore models, and microbial biotransformation for discovering novel secondary metabolites. Prof. Dr. Hossam Hassan has been honored with multiple accolades for his contributions, including the Best Master Thesis Award (2006), the Best Ph.D. Thesis in Pharmacognosy (2012), and two Armor of Excellence awards from the Egyptian Pharmacists Syndicate. Prof. Dr. Hossam Hassan’s diverse administrative, teaching, and research achievements firmly establish him as a leading figure in pharmaceutical natural products discovery and academic administration.
