Dr. Ahmed Hamdan | Pharmaceutical and Clinical Sciences | Research Excellence Award

University of Tabuk | Saudi Arabia

Dr. Ahmed Mohsen Elsaid Hamdan is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Pharmacology and Toxicology at the University of Tabuk, with more than 14 years of academic and research experience in pharmaceutical sciences. His research is centered on chronopharmacology, chronotherapeutics, and smart drug delivery systems, with a strong translational focus on neurological and neurodevelopmental disorders. His work aims to elucidate how biological rhythms and circadian regulation influence drug efficacy, toxicity, and disease progression. A major theme of Dr. Hamdan’s research is the development of evidence-based non-pharmacological and nutritional therapeutic strategies for neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s diseases, as well as neurodevelopmental disorders including autism spectrum disorder and ADHD. He extensively investigates phytochemicals, probiotics (particularly Lactobacillus species), and nutraceuticals, emphasizing the gut–microbiome–brain axis as a key mechanistic pathway. His studies integrate pharmacological, behavioral, biochemical, and molecular approaches to identify novel therapeutic targets and mechanisms. In parallel, Dr. Hamdan has contributed significantly to advanced nano- and smart drug delivery systems for cancer therapy, dermatological disorders, infectious diseases, and chronic inflammatory conditions, enhancing drug bioavailability and therapeutic outcomes. His research portfolio also includes hepatoprotective and cardioprotective strategies and chronopharmacological exploration of natural products. Dr. Hamdan has published 105 peer-reviewed articles, with the majority appearing in high-impact Q1–Q2 journals, and holds an h-index of 26. He has secured 13 competitive research grants, is involved in an ongoing patent, and maintains active collaborations with national and international institutions, reflecting his strong commitment to innovative and multidisciplinary biomedical research.
