Profile Summary

Dr. Kareem A. Attallah, Ph.D., a U.S. citizen born in Egypt on July 27, 1990, stands as a visionary biochemist and molecular biologist revolutionizing early cancer diagnostics, particularly for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Residing in New Damietta, Egypt, he has amassed over a decade of pioneering research, developing the groundbreaking HCC-Check diagnostic model that achieves exceptional sensitivity (87.9%) and specificity through multi-biomarker integration of Cytokeratin-1, Epithelial Membrane Antigen, albumin, and log AFP. His innovations, validated across CLIP and BCLC staging systems, promise to transform global oncology by enabling the detection of small tumors in high-risk populations. ​ Academic Excellence Dr. Attallah earned his Ph.D. in Pharmaceutical Sciences (Biochemistry) from Cairo University's Faculty of Pharmacy in 2024, with a thesis pioneering biochemical techniques for HCC early detection. He holds an M.Sc. in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology from the University of Sadat City's Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology Research Institute (2019), focusing on nuclear matrix proteins in colon cancer, plus dual bachelor's degrees: B.Pharm. from Ahram Canadian University (2016, honors) and B.Sc. in Zoology-Chemistry from Damietta University (2011), alongside a Postgraduate Diploma in Biochemistry (2012). Advanced training as an Egypt Clinical Scholar at Harvard Medical School (2021-2022), where he ranked in the top 5%, honed his biomarker expertise. Research Innovations A master of cutting-edge techniques like SDS-PAGE, Western blotting, electroelution, ELISA, and immunohistochemistry, Dr. Attallah excels in protein purification, cancer biomarker quantification (AFP, Glypican-3, CEA, p53), and tissue-based diagnostics for liver, colorectal, and breast cancers. He spearheaded HCC-Check's development and validation, alongside models leveraging Collagen-III and MMP-1, driving precise early detection and prognosis. His work at the Biotechnology Research Center optimizes in vitro assays for liver diseases, including fibrosis, cirrhosis, and HCC, while mentoring over 50 professionals in clinical research. ​ Prolific Publications Dr. Attallah boasts 12+ peer-reviewed publications in top journals, including Medical Oncology (2025, HCC-Check validation), Technology in Cancer Research & Treatment (2024, HCC-Check debut), Naunyn-Schmiedeberg's Archives of Pharmacology (2025, viniferin review), and Frontiers in Pharmacology (2025, morusin as drug candidate). Earlier works in the British Journal of Biomedical Science developed multi-biomarker panels for breast and colon cancers, enhancing diagnostic accuracy through NMP-52, CEA, CA19-9, and other markers. These contributions underscore his leadership in biomarker-driven oncology. ​ Professional Leadership As a research scientist (July 2024-present) and former research associate (2019-2024) at New Damietta's Biotechnology Research Center, Dr. Attallah leads R&D in diagnostic assays and disease mechanisms. He delivered keynote speeches, including at the 6th International Monothematic Conference on Viral Hepatitis (Croatia, 2019), and completed elite workshops, such as those offered by Nature Research Academies on grant writing and EBSCO database mastery. With 8+ years of mentoring undergraduates/postgraduates and 1+ year of training healthcare professionals at Egypt's Ministry of Health, he fosters next-generation scientists. ​ Global Impact Certified in digital transformation, GRE (288), ATEFL (500), and ICDL, Dr. Attallah commands bilingual fluency, GraphPad, SPSS, and MNova for rigorous analysis. His volunteer service as a medical lab analyst in university convoys and Resala Association membership amplify his commitment to community health. Dr. Attallah's trajectory positions him as a transformative force in biotech, poised for international R&D leadership in pharma and academia.
