About:
Professor Alaa A. A. Aljabali, PhD, is the Dean of the Faculty of Pharmacy at Yarmouk University (Jordan). He earned his Bachelor’s degree in Biological Sciences from Yarmouk University, his Master’s degree in Biotechnology from the University of Essex (UK), and his PhD in Bionanoscience from the University of East Anglia / John Innes Centre (UK). Professor Aljabali is a distinguished nanoscientist working at the interface of chemistry, biology, materials science, virology, and medicine.

His research focuses on the synthesis, processing, and physicochemical characterisation of novel natural- and synthetic-based nanomaterials, including nanoparticles, virus-derived nanomaterials, carbon nanotubes, and self-assembled systems. He also develops multifunctional, highly ordered nanostructures for applications in advanced imaging tools (MRI, CT, PET), targeted drug-delivery systems, therapeutic carriers, and biosensing platforms.

Over his career, Professor Aljabali has contributed extensively to the scientific community through peer-reviewed publications, book chapters, invited lectures, and conference presentations. He has held multiple academic and administrative positions at Yarmouk University, including Professor, Associate Professor of Nanotechnology and Biotechnology, Vice Dean for Faculty and Administrative Affairs, Assistant Dean for Quality Assurance, and membership in the Scientific Research Council and Faculty Board. He also maintains active collaborations with academic, clinical, and industrial partners, fostering multidisciplinary research in nanomedicine, drug targeting, biosensing, and translational pharmaceutical sciences.

His skills and expertise include nanobiotechnology, biotechnology, virus research, and drug delivery, and he continues to lead and mentor the next generation of scientists in developing innovative bionanotechnology solutions for biomedical applications.
