Mr Yousef Ijjeh

Higher Degree by Research Candidate

School of Pharmacy and Biomedical Sciences

College of Health


I am a doctoral student and graduate researcher at the South Australian ImmunoGenomics Cancer Institute within Adelaide University, operating under the principal supervision of Dr. Zeyad D. Nassar. With an academic background that includes a Pharm.D. from the Jordan University of Science and Technology and a master's degree in biomedical engineering with a specialization in molecular and cellular biotherapies from Paris Descartes University, my research centers on oncology, nanomedicine, and molecular biology, particularly investigating tumor microenvironments and advanced therapeutic delivery systems. Currently, I am studying fatty acid oxidation (FAO) in prostate cancer and working to investigate the effects of histone acetyltransferase inhibitors (HATi) and fatty acid oxidation inhibitors (FOAi) in this malignancy. My scholarly contributions include peer-reviewed publications exploring targeted drug delivery, metabolic stress in cancer cell lines, digital design applications for sustainable nanomedicine, and aptamer-guided CRISPR delivery systems.
