• Ph.D. degree in Microbiology2009.

Subject of Study: “Molecular Comparative Study for the Evaluation ofDifferent Standardization Concepts in Quantitative Assay of Certain Infectious Microbial Disease.

M.S. degree inMicrobiology 2001.

Subject of Study: “Clinical diagnosis of ocular infection of Chlamydia Trachomatis by polymerase chain reaction, a molecular approach.”

• B.Sc. degree in Botany-chemistry, Faculty of science, Ain Shams University 1984.

Applications Used in Both Study

The studied samples were subjected to the following:

Bioinformatics:

1-Sequence analysis and selection of PCR primers using gene bank and software.

2- DNA Synthesis, primer (Oligonucleotide) synthesis and purification.

3- Measurement of oligonucleotide concentration.

4- Extraction of nucleic acids from eye swabs by 6 different methods for evaluations.

5- End point amplification PCR amplification (Quantitative PCR by gel documentation system).

6- Detection of the amplified product and DNA analysis by agarose gel electrophoresis.

7-Real-time PCR.

8-Real-time NASBA

9-Primers and internal controls for the previous amplification methods were synthesized by DNA synthesizer, site directed mutagenesis and cloning technique. Cloning, DNA isolation from plasmid vectors (positive control).

The nucleotide sequences of the DNA fragments inserted into the W and M plasmids were confirmed by direct sequencing in both strands
