Dr. Rasha Elsabagh | Oncology | Research Excellence Award

Researcher | Animal Health Research Institute(AHRI) | Egypt

Rasha H. Elsabagh is a multidisciplinary immunology specialist and cancer stem cell researcher with extensive expertise spanning stem cell biology, immuno-oncology, translational cancer research, and veterinary biomedical sciences. She currently serves as a researcher at the Animal Health Research Institute, where her work integrates advanced immunological diagnostics, molecular biology, and national livestock immunization programs that directly contribute to animal health surveillance and disease control. Her academic training culminated in a doctoral degree in cancer immunology from Cairo University, where her research focused on circulating cancer stem cells and photothermal nanotherapy as predictive and monitoring tools for tumor response. She has conducted advanced international research training at University of California San Francisco, gaining high-level proficiency in flow cytometry, immunofluorescence, and human stem cell analysis, and later expanded her translational oncology experience as a visiting research fellow at the Cancer Institute of Montpellier, working on nanoparticle-mediated RNA delivery to tumor-infiltrating immune cells. Her scientific output includes multiple peer-reviewed publications in high-impact journals and international conference proceedings, with her work receiving sustained scholarly citations and global academic recognition. Her research collaborations span institutions in North America, Europe, and the Middle East, reflecting her active role in international scientific networks in stem cell biology, cancer immunology, and nanomedicine. Beyond laboratory research, she contributes to national capacity building through scientific training, quality assurance in diagnostic immunology, and public health–oriented animal disease control programs. Her work has direct societal impact through improvements in cancer diagnostics, advancement of immunotherapeutic strategies, and strengthening of zoonotic disease surveillance, positioning her as a globally engaged scientist at the intersection of experimental research, translational medicine, and public health. She has 2 citations from 2 documents with an h-index of 1.
