Biography
Dr.Osama mohamed hasan ebraheem is a Professor at Department of Pharmacy, Tanta university. His work is aimed at targets chemokine-mGluR5 heteromer for treatment of neurodegenerative diseases. Neurodegenerative diseases affect a significant segment of the world’s population. A common feature associated with this group of diseases is chronic neuronal inflammation. Chemokines via their receptors play major role in this process by contributing to inflammation through increased glutamate release from astrocytes. Chronic high levels of glutamate create neurotoxicity by persistent stimulation of metabotropic glutamate-5 (mGluR5) and ionotropic (NMDA) receptors on neurons which lead to degeneration.
