Sherif Elbasiouny<\/p><\/div>\n

Expert. Scientist. Engineer.<\/p>\n

Three words that describe Sherif Elbasiouny, Ph.D., a young biomedical engineer who is developing new rehabilitative and treatment strategies to alleviate neurological diseases.<\/p>\n

Elbasiouny has joint appointments in the Boonshoft School of Medicine, College of Science and Mathematics and the College of Engineering and Computer Science. Showing his interdisciplinary knowledge and collaboration; he was nominated by colleagues in all three colleges.<\/p>\n

He is an expert in applying engineering principles to scientific questions that address important issues in modern medicine.<\/p>\n

\u201cSherif is truly a 21st century scientist,\u201d said Tim Cope, Ph.D., former chair of the department of neuroscience, cell biology and physiology; Chris Wyatt, Ph.D., interim chair of the Department of Neuroscience, Cell Biology and Physiology; and Nathan Klingbeil, Ph.D., professor and dean of the College of Engineering and Computer Science.<\/p>\n

Raised in Egypt, Elbasiouny attended Cairo University, graduating with a graduation honor degree, the highest award granted to students at the university.<\/p>\n

Elbasiouny has made a big footprint in his two and a half years at Wright State.<\/p>\n

He has established the Neuro-Engineering, Rehabilitation and Degeneration Laboratory in several departments.<\/p>\n

In addition, he has received competitively funded grants worth over $2 million from the National Institutes of Health and the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency. This five-year support will enable him to study amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and advance the function of upper limb prostheses.<\/p>\n

He has established collaborative research with international investigators around the world.<\/p>\n

Elbasiouny developed an inter-disciplinary graduate course between biomedical engineering and the biomedical sciences. He currently chairs a committee to establish a master\u2019s program in Neuro-engineering.<\/p>\n

He advises graduate and undergraduate students on all levels. A senior design group that he helped mentor was invited to showcase their project nationally at the Medical Devices Conference.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have known few at his level who have excelled so brilliantly,\u201d said Margaret Dunn, professor of surgery and dean of the Boonshoft School of Medicine.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
