Professor Hematology Oncology

M.B.B.Ch.,  an M.Sc. degree followed by an (M.D) Ph.D. in Internal Medicine from Cairo University, Egypt, where I worked as a professor until I moved to Canada in 2010. Trained as a hematologist at the St. Thomas’ hospital in the U.K. and was elected Fellow of the Royal College of Physicians of Edinburgh and Fellow of the American College of physicians.

*Joined the Saskatoon Cancer Centre as a hematologist and the College of Medicine of the University of Saskatchewan in 2010. Appointed as a regional adviser to the Royal College of Physicians of Edinburgh in Eastern Canada.

*Shared in the writing of Davidson’s clinical cases and sits on the international advisory board of the textbook “Davidson’s Principles and Practice of Medicine” since 2010 and served as a reviewer and co-editor, and associate editor for few hematology journals.

*Co-Editor of “Precision Anticoagulation Medicine: A practical guide.” Springer 2020

*Co-Editor of “Paraproteinemia and Related Disorders.” Springer Nature, 2021

*Published 56 peer-reviewed articles and two book chapters with nearly 2500 citations in the last five years.
