Research
- I have strong research expertise in basic and clinical research in Global Public Health, including cancer, cardiometabolic, aging, nutritional, social, environmental, occupational epidemiology, and maternal and child health.
- I have engaged in several collaborative epidemiological research projects. I possess expertise in providing leadership, guidance, and technical assistance on the entire spectrum of Global Public Health.
- Being a former pediatrician, my medical background enabled me to develop great clinical epidemiology and implementation research expertise.
- I have published over 150 publications in prestigious international peer-reviewed journals, including those belonging to the Lancet and BMJ series.
- I have contributed four book chapters to international textbooks: The Encyclopedia of Cardiovascular Research and Medicine (https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/B9780128096574996030), the Global Health Leadership (https://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/978-3-319-95633-6_5), Coffee in Health and Disease Prevention (https://shop.elsevier.com/books/coffee-in-health-and-disease-prevention/preedy/978-0-443-13868-3), and Tea in Health and Disease Prevention (https://shop.elsevier.com/books/tea-in-health-and-disease-prevention/preedy/978-0-12-384937-3).
- I obtained several competitive research grants from the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science, and Technology (MEXT), Japan, the Ministry of Higher Education, Egypt, the Japan Cardiovascular Research Foundation, and the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science. Currently, I am an applicant for a Michigan Health Endowment Fund.
My research primarily falls into the following four themes and related broad research questions:
Theme #1: Nutritional Epidemiology in relation to Cardiometabolic and Cancer outcomes
Theme #2: Social Epidemiology
Theme #3: Novel Indicators and Biomarkers of Cancer and Cardiovascular Health
Theme #4: Environmental and Occupational Hazards and Maternal and Child Health (Perinatal, Pediatric and Reproductive Epidemiology)
