SALAH E. ABDEL-GHANY
I graduated with my Ph.D. degree in Botany at Colorado State University, Department of Biology in March 2001 under the supervision of Dr. A.S.N.Reddy. My Research project focused on cloning, characterization, and phylogenetic analysis of a calcium/calmodulin-regulated microtubule-binding motor protein, KCBP, from photosynthetic organisms.
I have worked in the Pilon lab at the same department as post-doc Researcher since August 2001. Projects in our Lab are focusing on metal homeostasis and transport within plant cells. My interest is to look for gene(s) that is (are) involved in metal co-factors transport, especially copper, in higher plants, especially to the chloroplast.
Originally, I am from Egypt where I have an academic position as assistant professor at Zagazig University, Faculty of Science, Department of Botany, Zagazig.
