Hassan El-Fawal describes himself as a son of academia, having grown up in an extended family of academics and researchers. He earned his BSc in Entomology and Pesticide Chemistry from the Faculty of Agriculture and Environmental Sciences, Alexandria University. It was there that he fell in love with neuroscience and toxicology. Returning to the USA, he started a journey of discovery in Cornell University, after which he worked in generic pharmaceuticals and organic solvents industries for 3 years. He went on to earn his MSc, from the University of Guelph, Canada, and PhD in Biomedical and Veterinary Medical Sciences from Virginia Tech. Dr. El-Fawal was Founding Director of the Neurochemistry Laboratory at New York University Medical Center’s Institute of Environmental Medicine, during which he consulted for Mercy College, a Liberal Arts institution, where he established, and taught, curricula for graduate Health Professional Programs in Physical Therapy, Occupational Therapy, Speech Pathology, Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine, and Advanced Nurse Practitioner Programs. He later joined Mercy College as Associate Dean, then Dean of the Division of Natural Sciences and Veterinary Technology, and was Director of the Environmental Health and Safety program, as well as developing courses in Islamic History and Civilization. Prior to joining the American University in Cairo (AUC) in 2016, he was Founding Dean of the School of Health Sciences and Professor of Pharmacology and Toxicology at Albany College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences, where he developed programs in Medical Diagnostics, Biotechnology, Nanomedicine, and Health Outcomes Research and Informatics. Dr. El-Fawal has been a member of the Society of Toxicology for more than 30 years, and is a member of Editorial Boards in Bionanosciences, and Nutritional Pharmacology. His research is in the area of Environmental Toxicology, with a particular focus on developing diagnostic tests of neurodegeneration, environmental cardiopulmonary diseases, and nanosafety. However, his mission is to break down walls that impede meaningful progress and solutions for the human condition.
