Biography
I am Dr/Wahid Hussein Mahmoud El-Dabae I have been working as a researcher for 18 years in molecular virology, and gene manipulation tools at Microbiology and immunology department, Veterinary Research Institute, National Research center Egypt. I got a master's degree in the Molecular epidemiology of Lentogenic Newcastle Disease Virus from Cairo University, faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Virology department. I got My Ph. D thesis in the vaccine discipline of NDV Genotype VIId. I am interested to continue my career to develop novel diagnostic approaches for viruses, and vaccine generation.
Research interests
1-Using of molecular epidemiology in studying of viral outbreaks, characterization of viruses by sequencing and phylogenetic analysis. 2- In vitro expression of different viral proteins and using of expressed proteins in the development and production of molecular based vaccines as well as, the development of molecular- based diagnostic kits especially for Influenza as well as zoonotic arthropod transmitted viruses. Also, study of viral epidemiology, pathogenesis and evolution. 3- Preparation of different types of vaccines and their quality control
Projects you're working on
Now I am working on in house project in molecular diagnosis of arthropod born virus in Egypt under grant number 13070105 (2022-2024)
