报告人：Prof. Nagwa Nawar
Professor of Organometallic and Inorganic Chemistry, Mansoura University, Egypt
报告人简介:
She has a passion for education and empowering women. She serves as a mentor and role model to numerous aspiring female scientists. She earned a bachelor’s degree in chemistry from Mansoura University (1979), Egypt and a doctorate degree in Organometallic and Inorganic Chemistry from the University of Liverpool (1989), U.K.
She was the Director of the English for Specific Purposes Research Center at Mansoura University. Prior to her current positions, Dr. Nawar taught principles of Inorganic Chemistry to Saudi women in Jeddah. She has presented her research at conferences and workshops in Egypt, the United Kingdom, Italy, Qatar, Jordan, Morocco and the United States. Nagwa was awarded the Abdel-Hamid Shuman Prize for the best Chemical Research in the Arab World in 1996 and the Mansoura University Prize of Distinction in Chemistry in 2001. She is an active member of the Fulbright Alumni and associate member of European Chemistry thematic network (ECTN). Dr. Nawar is married with two sons and was named Mansoura University’s 2010 Mother of the Year and Women in Science Hall of Fame, 2011, USA.
Research interests:
My interest focuses on aspects of organometallic and coordination chemistry. The research interest is concerned with finding new routes for the synthesis of complexes containing homo- and hetero-nuclear metal-metal bonds and investigating the reactivity of these complexes. Also, studying the reactions of unsaturated organic groups with metal clusters in order to try to understand how changing the electronic properties of the cluster can vary the reactivity. This work has important implications concerning the mechanisms of heterogeneous and homogeneous catalysis.
Also, we are interested to study the interactions between transition metal complexes and DNAs or in general their biological activities. Recently, we worked on synthesis and characterization of some transition metal complexes derived from for examples thiourea derivatives containing amino acids, thiosemicarbazones or Schiff-base ligands. These complexes have antitumor, anticancer, antimalarial, anti-inflammatory, and anti-influenza activities.
