A patent was selected for the Department of Pharmaceutics at the Faculty of Pharmacy – Al-Nahda University, and the Department of Pharmaceutics at the Faculty of Pharmacy – Beni Suef University.

The research team for the selected patent included:

• Prof. Dr. Mohamed Mahmoud Nafadi – Head of the Pharmaceutics Department., Dr. Doaa Saad Ahmed – Assistant Lecturer, Faculty of Pharmacy, Nahda University- Two representatives of the Department of Pharmaceutics, Faculty of Pharmacy – Nahda University
• Professor Shahira Fawzi Al-Minshawi, Dr. Heba Abboud, and Dr. Rasha Khorshoum – representatives of the Department of Pharmaceutics, Faculty of Pharmacy – Beni Suef University.

This twinning between the two departments at Al-Nahda University and Beni Suef University is an important step towards scientific development in the field of scientific research.

It is noteworthy that the Cairo International Innovation Fair is considered an annual market for innovations in which innovators, inventors, technology transfer centers in universities, institutes and research centers, university students, pre-university education, innovators’ sponsorship associations and emerging technology companies present their innovations to the visitors of the exhibition including scientists, researchers, businessmen, industry, investment, media, and scientific research funding bodies Innovation, financing, risks, technological incubators, science parks, students and the general public, with the aim of spreading the culture of innovation and contributing to creating an environment that stimulates innovation and helping to market innovations.

On Sunday, December 22, 2019, a cooperation protocol was signed between Nahda University and the National Authority for Remote Sensing and Space Sciences, in the presence of Prof. Dr. Hossam Al-Mallahi – President of Al-Nahda University, Prof. Dr. Salem Al-Khudary – Dean of the Faculty of Engineering, and Dr. Muhammad Zahran – President of the National Authority for Remote Sensing and Sciences Space and all board members.

The administration of the Faculty of Engineering at Nahda University seeks to develop the Department of Communications and Computer Engineering to become the Department of Communication, Computer and Space Sciences, believing in the necessity of continuous development of educational programs and increasing their effectiveness to meet the requirements of the labor market, which will provide various and advanced teaching and learning methods, and systems for benefiting from the authority’s expertise in scientific participation in describing and teaching space science courses, establishing specialized laboratories, as well as modeling and simulation for space science systems.

The protocol emphasizes the importance of cooperation and coordination in the field of research, studies and technical applications in the field of communication engineering, space science and remote sensing, with the aim of integrating efforts, scientific cooperation and exchange of experts between the two parties in all fields, especially in the field of education and training.

The protocol also allows training students of the Faculty of Engineering at Nahda University with specialized laboratories in the authority to qualify them, as the two parties agreed to define a mechanism for cooperation between them in the field of training, scientific research and research projects.

This came in the belief of the responsibility of Al-Nahda University towards achieving the state’s strategy, which is to prepare distinguished graduates scientifically, professionally and morally who are able to keep pace with technological development and participate in a distinguished role in the renaissance of society and the development of the environment by conducting applied research and providing advisory, training and productive services in various engineering fields to serve the goals of sustainable development.

It is noteworthy that the signing of the protocol came within the framework of the modern Egyptian state’s tendency to adopt the latest means of technology and enter the field of space, as it is moving in steady steps towards digital transformation and smart transportation systems. It has developed a national strategy for “artificial intelligence” and has achieved a lot in terms of peaceful uses of space. The Egyptian Space Agency was established, and is currently hosting the African Space Agency, and accordingly, the Egyptian satellite (Tiba-1) was launched on November 27, 2019, and the launch of the Egyptian communications satellite “Tiba-1”, which will make a quantum leap in the communications and information technology sector in Egypt, according to Egypt’s future strategy, will use this satellite to help speed up the achievement of sustainable development goals, build digital capabilities that are eligible for employment among young people, shift towards a digital economy and access health and educational services to all parts of the country, in urban and rural areas.

On Sunday May 31, 2020, Professor Dr. Hossam El-Mallahi – President of Nahda University honored the team of researchers at the Faculty of Pharmacy at the university who participated in a scientific study in cooperation with some Egyptian and foreign universities to explore the potential effectiveness of some natural products as antagonists to the emerging corona virus that causes Covid 19 disease using computer-based molecular modeling.

The President of the University emphasized during the honor witnessed by the members of the University Council today on the university’s role in community service, especially through research and scientific studies that respond to the needs of the Egyptian community, and The university administration was keen to provide all the facilities and support required to support research teams at the university in cooperation with other universities to achieve a breakthrough in scientific studies that serve the community.

The honor included Dr. Hossam Mukhtar, Assistant Professor of Pharmacology and Vice Dean for Postgraduate Studies, Faculty of Pharmacy, Dr. Ahmed Sayed, Lecturer at the Pharmacology Department, Faculty of Pharmacy, Dr. Asmaa Abu Al-Majd, Lecturer, Department of Chemistry, Faculty of Pharmacy, Nahda University.

It is mentioned that it is in implementation of the directives of President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi, President of the Republic, to intensify the conduct of specialized scientific research to discover a possible treatment for Coronavirus, with the support of Dr. Hossam Al Mallahi, President of Al Nahda University, and the supervision of Dr. Mohamed Ayoub, Vice President of Nahda University for Postgraduate Studies and Research, and Dr. Hamdy Abdel Rahman, Dean of the University’s Faculty of Pharmacy, cooperation took place between the Faculty of Pharmacy at Nahda University, the universities of Beni Suef and Minya, the Arab Academy for Science, Technology and Maritime Transport in Egypt and the University of West Scotland, with the participation of Dr. Hala Zayed, Minister of Health and Population, and this cooperation resulted in the publication of research to explore the potential effectiveness of some natural products as anti-corona virus that causes Covid 19 disease using computer-based molecular modeling, in addition to studying the physical and chemical properties of these compounds as potential treatments for the disease.

The research concluded that a group of phenolic compounds are available in abundance in many plants and fruits, such as pomegranate, berries of all kinds, and hibiscus. The research came under the title: “Nature is a hidden treasure for potential anti-corona virus drugs.”
