Tarek Abd Elnapy Ahmed

Biography

Dr. Tarek completed his undergraduate studies from the Faculty of pharmacy, Al-Azhar University, Cairo, Egypt. He then joined the department of pharmaceutics and industrial pharmacy in 2003 as a demonstrator and completed his master within four years.After completing his master degree, Dr. Tarek felt that he requires both, more in-depth study and to get in touch with an international school of pharmacy to be able to practice the pharmaceutical science proficiently; therefore he decided to complete the requirements for one of the Egyptian government scholars (channel system) where he passed the TOFEL test, prepared his paper and documents and travelled to USA in 2008 where he joined Texas A&M health science center (TX, USA) as a PhD visiting scholar.During that period Dr. Tarek got an excellent knowledge in the development of novel drug delivery (in situ gel and in situ microparticles), HPLC analysis for both in vitro and in vivo study. After completing his study, he came back from USA in 2010 where he did make his defense within two months and joined the department of pharmaceutics and industrial pharmacy as lecturer in March 2010.Over his years of experience, Dr. Tarek gained an excellent teaching skill of both practical and academic, theoretical pharmaceutical courses through his dealing with all of the pharmaceutical practical course for undergraduate students (2003-2007), and later, after he earned his Ph.D degree, he has academic teaching responsibilities that include; Pharmaceutics I and Pharmaceutics III to the 2nd and 4th year students respectively at Al-Azhar university (2010-2011),Liquid dosage forms and industrial pharmacy at the Egyptian Russian University (2010-2011). Physical Pharmacy, Solid dosage forms, pharmacokinetics, Biopharmaceutics, Sterile dosage forms, semisolid dosage forms and nanotechnology during his work at King Abdulaziz University.

Research Interest

A novel controlling release technique (In situ gel and ISM systems) for the delivery of drugs (Haloperidol and Montelukast) was the area of interest of the PhD, a one month formulation for both drugs have been prepared, the in vitro, in vivo and stability testing of the prepared formulae have been studied.The topical formulation and the solid dispersion technique were the areas of interest, which I was focused in my master in which the aqueous solubility and dissolution of a poorly Soluble drug "Mefenamic acid" was enhanced, then formulating the drug in different Topical formulations including creams and gels, Studying the rheological properties Of the formulations and then study the stability of these formulations.
