Yasser E Shahein
Professor, Molecular Biology Department, Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology Division
National Research Center, Dokki, Cairo, Egypt
Shahein received Ph.D in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology from Cordoba University (Spain) then; he joined Toronto University (Canada) as a postdoctoral scientist. He is currently an associate professor in the department of molecular biology at the National Research centre, Egypt. His research concerns with the production of recombinant vaccines against ticks. He has cloned several genes that may play a role in the vector-host relationship. Dr Shahein had constructed two cDNA libraries for both cattle and camel local hard tick strains; Rhipicephalus annulatus and Hyalomma dromedarii, respectively. Dr Shahein received research grants from MUCIA (University of Illinois, USA-2005-2007), ASTF (United Arab of Emirates-2007-2009), and KACST (Kingdom of Saudi Arabia-2010-2014).
