Niveen Khashab

Niveen M. Khashab is a Lebanesechemist and a Professor of chemical Sciences and engineering at King Abdullah University of Science and Technology in Saudi Arabia since 2009.[1][2] She is a laureate of the 2017 L'Oréal-UNESCO Awards for Women in Science "for her contributions to innovative smart hybrid materials aimed at drug delivery and for developing new techniques to monitor intracellular antioxidant activity."[3] She is also a fellow of the Royal Chemical Society, and a member of the American Chemical Society.[4]

Education

Niveen M. Khashab received her B.S. in Chemistry from the American University of Beirut, Lebanon, followed by her PhD in chemistry at the University of Florida.[5][6]

Research & Career

Professor Khashab's research focuses on the design, synthesis, and use of "smart" programmable nanomaterials, emphasizing the systems' controlled release and delivery characteristics.[7][8][9] These synthetic materials are applied for biomimetic biological (distribution, sensing, and imaging), industrial (nanocomposites), and environmental (synthesis of membranes) applications, respectively.[10][11][12][13] Niveen's research interests include leveraging the natural microporosity of supramolecular assemblies for energy-intensive separations. Her research team is particularly interested in the separation of benzene derivatives employing macrocycles and cages designed for optimal separation via molecular recognition.[14] Her team has produced a variety of self-assembled capsules (SACs) for the encapsulation and transport of RNA, DNA, and proteins. She focuses on the encapsulation and delivery of CRISPR-Cas9 to enhance targeted gene editing.[15][16]

With more than ten years of professional experience, Prof. Niveen M. Khashab is presently a Full Professor and Head of the Chemistry Program at the King Abdullah University of Science and Technology.
