Lobna Elsadek

Lobna graduated from Phamacy School, Cairo University in Egypt. She received her PhD in Pharmaceutical Sciences at the University of Florida in the Luesch lab. Her research focused on harnessing the structural space dictated by the unique biosynthetic machinery of marine cyanobacteria to screen for new anticancer and antifungal agents. She coupled the identification of bioactive agents with comprehensive mechanistic studies to elucidate perturbed biological pathways and assign the therapeutically relevant biological targets. Lobna joined the Fischer lab with an interest in studying the interactome and the regulatory mechanisms governing the ubiquitin-proteasome system’s components.
