On Friday, January 30, 2026, the College of Pharmacy at Gulf Medical University hosted a faculty research seminar delivered by Prof. Ikramy Abdelraheem Khalil Ibraheem, Professor and Chairperson of the Pharmaceutics Department at RAK Medical & Health Sciences University. The seminar was attended by faculty members, postgraduate students, and researchers from the Pharmaceutical Sciences Department and related programs.
Titled “Lipid Nanoparticles in Drug Delivery: Opportunities, Challenges, and Future Directions,” the seminar highlighted recent advances in lipid nanoparticle–based drug and gene delivery systems, with particular emphasis on their applications in targeted therapy and nanomedicine. Prof. Ibraheem discussed key formulation strategies, translational challenges, and emerging trends shaping the future of nanotherapeutics.
Drawing on his extensive academic and research experience across Egypt, Japan, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE, Prof. Ibraheem shared insights from his work in pharmaceutics, molecular pharmaceutics, and cancer nanotherapy, reflecting on the evolution of lipid-based delivery platforms and their clinical potential.
The seminar concluded with an engaging discussion session, during which faculty and students exchanged ideas with the speaker on nanomedicine innovation, research translation, and future directions in drug delivery science. The event provided valuable perspectives on bridging fundamental pharmaceutical research with real-world therapeutic applications.
