Mahmoud Ahmed Mansour
Prof. Mahmoud Mansour is a Professor of Biochemistry at the College of Pharmacy, King Saud bin Abdulaziz University for Health Sciences, Saudi Arabia. He received a pharmacy degree from Al-Azhar University Cairo, Egypt, in 1984, and a Ph.D. in Clinical Biochemistry from the Karolinska Institute, Stockholm, Sweden in 1992. As a fellow, Prof. Mansour contributed significantly to defining some aspects of the molecular biology of tissue injury and induction of lever toxicity and renal toxicity, with a focus on the role of antioxidants in the prevention and treatment of different toxic effects. In addition, he contributed significantly to developing a new strategy for tumors, especially those in the liver. His research has shown that proteasome inhibitors play an important role in preventing carcinogenesis of the liver by metastatic tumors. At King Saud bin Abdulaziz University for Health Sciences, Prof. Mansour continued to work on the pathogenesis of cancer and on issues concerning the cellular and molecular mechanisms of cancer biology and the metastatic process. He is currently conducting studies on liver cancer using the oncogene Gankyrin.
