Esmail Mohammed El-Fakharany is a researcher at the City of Scientific Research and Technological Applications, known for impactful contributions in virology, protein research, biotechnology, and biochemistry. His work spans antiviral mechanisms, bioactive natural compounds, and biomedical materials. He has extensively studied lactoferrin from multiple species, revealing its potential to inhibit pathogenic viruses, including its ability to reduce hepatitis C virus infectivity in various cell lines. El-Fakharany has also explored antiviral properties of camel milk proteins, casein, and mushroom-derived enzymes, demonstrating their potential roles in preventing viral entry and inducing apoptosis in infected cells. Beyond virology, he contributes to biomaterials research, including developing electrospun nanofibers and polyvinyl alcohol–hyaluronic acid membranes for wound healing. His work further extends to nanotechnology through the synthesis and evaluation of biologically derived platinum nanoparticles with antimicrobial, antioxidant, antidiabetic, and catalytic applications. El-Fakharany’s interdisciplinary research continues to advance understanding of natural antiviral agents, therapeutic biomolecules, and innovative biomedical materials.
