Biography

Dr. Dania A. M. Abdelhady is an Assistant Professor of Medical Physiology at Dubai Medical University, bringing over a decade of academic, clinical, and research experience in medical education and experimental physiology. I am specialize in cardiovascular, metabolic, and hepatorenal physiology and have published multiple Scopus-indexed papers in international peer-reviewed journals. My academic focus includes advancing physiology education through innovative, student-centered methodologies and promoting evidence-based medical learning.

Prior to joining DMU, I held teaching and research appointments at Benha University, Delta University, Suez University and Badr University in Egypt. I currently coordinates the Gastrointestinal (GIT) Course, mentors undergraduate research projects, and serves on the Multiple Mini Interview (MMI) Admissions Committee and Disciplinary Committee at DMU. I am also pursuing a Master of Health Professional Education to enhance her leadership in academic excellence and curriculum development.
