Rana Ahmed Youness is a currently a Postdoc and Junior Head of Molecular Genetics Research Team at the faculty of Pharmacy and Biotechnology, German University in Cairo (GUC), Egypt. Youness received her Bachelor degree with Excellence with Highest honors in 2013. She has awarded her Msc. degree in Pharmaceutical Biology Department at the age of 23 from the GUC. Her Master Thesis work has been acknowledged and published as a book under the title: “miR-486-5p and Liver cancer: A Beautiful Mind Act”. Moreover, her work has been ranked from top 10% posters in EASL conference (European Association for the Study of Liver Disease), Vienna, 2015. In 2018, she defended her PhD with a grade of “Summa Cum Laude” in the field of Gasotransmitters and its role in the molecular pathophysiology of Breast Cancer. Youness has published more than 15 publications in peer reviewed journals and more than 40 abstracts in prestigious conferences such as ESMO, EASL, AACR, EBCC, EACR, AASLD. She is currently an editor and reviewer in several peer reviewed journals related to the pharmaceutical Biology Department. Youness’s main research interest is unraveling the epigenetic mechanisms regulating the gasotransmitters’ machineries in the most aggressive and prevalent solid malignancies in Egypt such as Liver and Breast cancers. Moreover, she is currently focused on screening the Egyptian Flora for novel anticancer agents that potentially refine the de-regulated molecular pathways in the Egyptian cancer patients.
