Assistant Researcher

biography

Hoda Elkhenany has graduated from the faculty of veterinary medicine in 2008, then she got her master in the vereinary science in 2011. She received her PhD degree in 2015 from Alexandria University.During her PhD, she spent two years as an assistant researcher in regenerative medicine labat collage of veterinary medicne, University of Tennessee, USA. Elkhenany gained experience to work with equine and goat stem cells also handling and performing of surgical operations for animal species like rat, goat and equine. Now she is a lecturer at surgery department, Alexandria University, Egypt.
