Ahmed Ghallab

Prof. Dr. Ahmed Ghallab is Professor of Toxicology at the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, South Valley University, Egypt, and Head of the Intravital Toxicology Research Group at the Leibniz Research Centre for Working Environment and Human Factors (IfADo) in Dortmund, Germany. His dual appointments reflect his interdisciplinary work bridging veterinary and human toxicology.

Dr. Ghallab earned his Dr. med. vet. from Justus-Liebig-University Gießen in 2013, following a Master's degree (2009) and Bachelor's degree (2006) in Veterinary Medicine from South Valley University. His career progressed from postdoctoral scientist at IfADo (2013) to BMBF-funded Junior Group Leader (2015-2021), Assistant Professor (2018), and finally Professor (2023).

His research focuses on intravital toxicology, particularly bile acid metabolism, drug-induced liver injury, and hepatobiliary system pathophysiology. He employs intravital imaging, computational modeling, and molecular techniques to investigate liver-kidney axis interactions, cholestatic diseases, and mechanisms of hepatotoxicity.

Analysis of his recent publications (2022-2025) reveals a strong emphasis on bile acid transporters, cholemic nephropathy, liver regeneration, and hepatocellular carcinoma development. His work spans from basic molecular mechanisms to translational applications, including development of novel diagnostic probes and therapeutic strategies targeting bile acid pathways.

Dr. Ghallab leads the Intravital Toxicology Research Group at IfADo, where his team conducts cutting-edge research using advanced imaging techniques to study real-time toxicological processes in living organisms. His work has significant implications for understanding drug safety, environmental toxicants, and metabolic diseases affecting the liver and related organ systems.
