About
Dr Mariam Gamaleldin is an Assistant Professor at Nile University in Egypt, and holds a Doctorate degree from Aarhus University in Denmark.
Current research
Dr Mariam Gamaleldin focuses her current research at the intersection of molecular neuroscience, neuroplasticity, and translational brain science. She is particularly interested in understanding how synaptic plasticity and protein synthesis shape brain function in both health and disease. Her scientific training integrates chemoproteomics and bioinformatics to investigate mechanisms underlying neuropsychiatric and neurodegenerative disorders. Through combined experimental and computational approaches, she aims to identify molecular signatures that provide both mechanistic insights and opportunities for therapeutic innovation. Alongside her laboratory-based work, she has developed a strong interest in neuroethics, particularly the ethical, cultural, and societal implications of advances in neuroscience within Arab and Global South contexts. She explores emerging challenges related to neurotechnology, biomarker discovery, precision psychiatry, and AI-driven neuroscience, addressing critical issues such as consent, equity, stigma, data governance, and culturally informed interpretations of mental health. Her perspective emphasizes the need for context-sensitive and culturally grounded neuroethical frameworks beyond traditional Western models.
Future research vision
Her future research goals include advancing translational neuroscience through the integration of molecular, computational, and systems-level approaches to better understand brain disorders, as well as contributing to the development of neuroethics frameworks grounded in Arab cultural, social, and religious contexts.
