Dr Hanady Hamdallah
Senior Lecturer
Hanady is a Senior Lecturer in Medical Science at Chester Medical School and has more than 10 years experience working as a Pharmacist. Hanady's previous PhD research investigated the effect of conjugated linoleic acid on obesity and metabolic risk factors. She has also previously studied the effect of Lactobascillus gasseri supplementation on cardiovascular disease risk factors. Hanady's current research interest is in the role of stress proteins in the diagnosis and prognosis of aortic aneurism.
Hanady completed her undergraduate degree in pharmacy BSc (Hons) at the Alexandria University in Egypt. She subsequently worked for more than 10 years as an inpatient pharmacist and the last two years of her working experience she was one of the clinical pharmacy supervisor in a Parenteral Nutrition Unit, in Alexandria University Hospital. Following her passion with Parenteral Nutrition, Hanady did her MSc in Clinical Nutrition in Roehampton University, UK. Her MSc dissertation was aiming to quantify the essential fatty acids intakes in very-preterm infants.
Following her MSc, Hanady received her doctorate in 2019 at the University of Chester with a project titled “The effect of conjugated linoleic acid on obesity, lung functions and inflammation”. Hanady is programme leader for MSc Diabetes, MSc Cardiovascular Disease and MSc Respiratory Medicine and teaches across various modules on these programmes, and supports MSc students through their dissertation.
Recent modules which Hanady has taught on include:
- MD7001 Evidence Based Medicine
- MD7007 Diabetes
- MD7008 Therapeutic Advances in Diabetes
- MD7019 Respiratory Medicine
- MD7020 Therapeutic Advances in Respiratory Medicine
- MD7097 Cardiovascular Disease
- MD7098 Therapeutic Advances in Cardiovascular Disease
- MD7069 Assessment and Consultation in Clinical Settings
- MD7003 Clinical Medicine
- MD7105 Reflection in Clinical Practice
Hanady research expertise is mainly in quantitative clinical studies and Meta-analysis.
Hanady MSc project was a longitudinal observation study that quantify the essential fatty acid in the breast milk using gas chromatography of the mothers delivered preterm infants. The dissertation discussed the role of Docohexaenoic acid (DHA) and Arachidonic acid (AA) in the neurodevelopment of preterm infants.
Following this, Hanady conducted a meta-analysis, an observational trial and a double blind RCTs for her ongoing PhD to explore the effect of conjugated linoleic acid on obesity, lung functions, metabolic markers and inflammation.
Hanady is currently working on the understanding :
- The effect of conjugated linoleic acid on lipid profile insulin resistance
- The change in stress proteins, inflammatory and metabolic markers before and after allogenic and autologous bonne marrow transplantations
- The effect of probiotic on metabolic and respiratory diseases
- Role of stress proteins in the diagnosis and prognosis of aortic aneurism
