International Collaborations 1. National Mitochondrial Signaling Laboratory of South Korea: We established a scientific collaboration with Prof. Jin Han, the director of Cardiovascular and Metabolic Diseases (CMDC) at college of medicine, Inje University, South Korea. The aim of this collaboration is to transfer knowledge and to open the gate for scientific research partnership. 2. Pharmcogenomic and Toxicogenomic Research Institute As result of the privilege of low laboratory animal cost here in Egypt, we did establish a continuous research gate between Department of Biochemistry at Benha University and Prof. Jurgen Borlak at Pharmcogenomic and Toxicogenomic Research Institute at Hannover Medical School to carry out animal experiment as a crucial process in drug discovery and toxicity assessment.
