Mohammed Mansour

Mohammed Mansour is a Senior Lecturer in Biomedical Science at the School of Applied Sciences, London South Bank University (LSBU), where he has been since 2020. He holds a PhD in Molecular Cancer Biology from Nagoya University (2015) and was a Royal Society Newton International Fellow at the CRUK Beatson Institute (2017–2019). His research focuses on tumor heterogeneity, 3D cell culture models, and overcoming drug resistance in cancers. Mansour has contributed to over 20 international publications, with 12 as lead author. His work aligns with UN Sustainable Development Goals, particularly in advancing health and education.

Educational Background:

• PhD in Molecular Cancer Biology, Nagoya University (2012–2015)
• MSc in Biochemistry, Tanta University (2009–2011)
• BSc in Biochemistry, Tanta University (2004–2008)

Research Interests:

Mansour investigates tumor heterogeneity using 3D in vitro models and genetically engineered mice. He combines live imaging, biochemistry, and machine learning to identify drug-resistant subpopulations and develop tailored therapies. Key areas include metastasis suppression, autophagy modulation, and drug repurposing. His goal is to discover actionable therapeutic targets for preclinical validation.

Professional Roles:

• Employability Lead for Biomedical Science at LSBU
• Former MRC Research Fellow in Mammary Stem Cell Biology at the University of Southampton (2019–2020)
• Lecturer of Biochemistry at Tanta University (2015–2017)

Awards:

• Royal Society Newton International Fellowship (2017–2019)
• Endorsed as an Emerging Leader with 'Exceptional Promise in Science'

Teaching:

He teaches Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology, Advanced Molecular Biology, Cancer Biology and Therapy, Drug Design, and Pharmacology.

Public Engagement:

Mansour actively promotes cancer awareness and collaborates internationally. His research has been presented at numerous conferences and disseminated through public outreach programs.
