Dr Farid G. Khalafalla is currently a postdoctoral fellow in Dr Mark Sussman’s laboratory at San Diego State University, conducting research into unraveling purinergic signaling in murine cardiomyocytes and human cardiac progenitor cells derived from heart failure (HF) patients. Farid earned his BS in Pharmaceutical Sciences from the School of Pharmacy, Cairo University, Egypt, and he continued his research career in the United States by pursuing a PhD in Biochemistry under the supervision of Dr Gary Weisman at the University of Missouri-Columbia. His graduate research focused on the role of P2Y2 nucleotide receptor (P2Y2R) in salivary gland regeneration. Farid’s lifelong passion for scientific research was inspired by his father, Dr Galal Khalafalla, a professor of Microbiology at Cairo University. Farid’s goal is to establish an independent research career with emphasis on studying cellular responses to extracellular nucleotide stress signals in the myocardium and developing novel translational …
