- PhD Title: Therapeutic resolution of pulmonary artery hyperten-sion by natural products
- Year of Completion: 2029
PhD Overview
The main objective of my PhD research is to investigate the molecular and genetic mechanisms of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) with a focus on the BMP/TGF-β signaling pathways. The study will use bioinformatics and experimental approaches to identify key regulatory genes and to assess the impact of BMPRII mutations associated with PAH. The study also evaluates the potential of selected natural compounds to modulate disrupted signaling pathways, which may provide new therapeutic strategies for PAH treatment.
Sustainability Goals
- Good Health and Well-being
- No Poverty
About Me
I am Aida, a PhD student in Translational Medicine with over six years of research experience in cancer biology and bioinformatics. I have published a research article on Hydroxysteroid Dehydrogenase Type 1 (HSD17B1) as a potential biomarker for bladder cancer (DOI: 10.61186/ibj.4068) and a review article on the therapeutic potential of bee products against Helicobacter pylori infections (DOI: 10.1016/j.micpath.2025.107707). I have participated at the “Innovation and Excellence in Laboratories Towards a Better Future” conference in Sana’a, Yemen (May 2025) and attended the Northern Cardiovascular Research Group Meeting in Leeds, UK (April 2025), broadening my expertise and professional network in biomedical research.
