Eman Soliman

Eman Soliman is an Assistant Professor at the Brody School of Medicine, East Carolina University, specializing in Pharmacology & Toxicology. Her research focuses on neuroimmune interactions in traumatic brain injury recovery, with a particular emphasis on efferocytosis, microglial and macrophage function, and neuroinflammatory signaling pathways.

• B.S. in Pharmaceutical Sciences, Zagazig University, Egypt
• M.Sc. in Pharmacology, Zagazig University, Egypt
• Ph.D. in Pharmacology and Toxicology, East Carolina University
• Post-doctoral Fellowships in Immunology (East Carolina University) and Neuroimmunology (Virginia Tech)

Her work employs transgenic mouse models, bone marrow chimeras, and advanced 3D imaging to investigate spatial, temporal, and sex-specific regulation of inflammation resolution in the brain. Key themes include the role of EphA4 signaling in efferocytosis, microglia-macrophage communication, and neuroprotective mechanisms after injury.

Recent publications highlight her contributions to understanding endothelial-astrocyte interactions, Tie2/Akap12 signaling, and NLRX1-cGAS-STING pathways in neuroinflammation. Articles also explore ABCG1 deficiency, PPARγ roles in granulomatous inflammation, and translational applications of cannabinoids in cancer and neuroinflammatory diseases.

The Soliman Lab collaborates with researchers on topics like EphA4 deletion, prostamide therapies, and mitochondrial dysfunction in chronic diseases. Current projects aim to identify targetable mechanisms for enhancing neuroprotection and functional recovery following brain injury.
