Rate My Professor Magdy Elnashar

Elnashar's academic interests center on biochemistry, nanobiotechnology, enzyme immobilization using biomaterials, biopolymers, biocomposites, and biotechnological applications in healthcare, water purification, cancer treatment, pharmaceuticals, and food industries. Notable works include editing the book Biopolymers (IntechOpen, 2010), and publications such as Biomaterials and Nanobiotechnology (2010), Biotechnology of Biopolymers (2011), Lactose hydrolysis by β-galactosidase covalently immobilized to thermally stable biopolymers (2009), Immobilized inulinase on grafted alginate beads prepared by the one-step and the two-steps methods (2010), Covalent immobilization of microbial naringinase using novel thermally stable biopolymer for hydrolysis of naringin (2016), Decoding the secrets of small extracellular vesicle communications: exploring the inhibition of vesicle-associated pathways and interception strategies for cancer treatment (2024), and Silver Gelled Chitosan Films: Preparation, Inclusion of Sunflower Seed Oil, and Application in Bread Packaging (2025). His research has accumulated over 1,000 citations. In teaching, he pioneered FastFeedback Questions (FFQs), a rapid formative feedback method published in 2018, which integrates focus questions into lectures to boost student engagement and mastery. Elnashar has received 11 prestigious awards, including the 2018 Curtin Awards for Excellence in Innovation and Teaching, as well as national recognition in Australia and honors from the USA, UK, and Egypt for teaching, research, and commercialization.
