I am thrilled to announce that I have accepted a position as an Assistant Professor at Duquesne University @duqedu in Pittsburgh. From the very first moment, Duquesne felt like home, a place where the values, warmth, and unwavering support of a true family shine through. It is a privilege to join such an inspiring institution, and I am profoundly grateful for the trust and encouragement I have received as I embark on this new chapter.

This milestone would not have been possible without the incredible individuals in my life who have stood by me with unwavering belief and support. To my family, friends, mentors, and colleagues, you are my unwavering foundation. Your faith in me has instilled the confidence to persevere, grow, and embrace every challenge with purpose.

As I step into this new role, I carry with me immense gratitude for the past and deep excitement for the future, for this new beginning at Duquesne, where I hope to make a meaningful impact and continue to grow alongside this exceptional community, and help inspire others in the way so many have inspired me.

Here’s to growth, gratitude, and calling Duquesne home.

No one should have to choose between their #health and putting food on the table! Ironically, I just joined @AsmaaNamoos on a manuscript addressing #HPV awareness in #Egypt, where #vaccine is less than $100/3 doses!

I need to sell my kidney to be able to afford this #HPV vaccine
9k for 1 shot & 3 such shots are needed. It's ridiculous 🥲

(For non-medicos - HPV vac safeguards a woman against cervical cancer & it is recommended that all girls of reproductive age group take it)

Exciting April! My ePoster titled "The Establishment and Optimization of a Porcine Model for Adipose Engraftment and Retention with Clinical Applicability" has been accepted for @RHISociety 68th meeting in Philly. Can't wait to share our research with fellow plastic surgeons! @PittPlasticSurg @adipose_lab @PittResearch @PittTweet #Plastic_Surgery #MedTwitter
