Biography

Dr. May Azzawi is a Reader in Vascular Physiology at the Healthcare Science Research Institute (Faculty of Science and Engineering), Manchester Metropolitan University, Manchester, United Kingdom. She received her PhD from the University of London (National Heart and Lung Institute, Royal Brompton Hospital, London) and has held postdoctoral and fellowship positions at the University of Manchester. She has over 20 years’ research experience in multidisciplinary fields including Vascular Physiology and Nanomedicine and has published widely (over 3,000 citations to date and an H-index of 15). Dr. Azzawi leads a ‘Nanovascular’ research group investigating the influence of nanoparticles on cellular and vascular function using ex vivo and 3D in vitro models. Her group focus on strategies (Nutraceutical and Nanotechnology) for the preservation and restoration of vascular function. She has authored over 50 peer reviewed articles, book chapters, invited reviews and meeting abstracts and has secured over half a £million in research funding (Innovate UK, Erasmus Mundus, EPSRC). She is an associate editor of the ‘Journal of Nanoscience letters’; editorial board member of ‘Applied Nanostructured Materials’; executive member of the British Society for Nanomedicine; and acts as referee for a number of international journals in the fields of Nanomedicine and Vascular Science.
