About Frederic Harb

Currently Professor of Biophysics at the faculty of Medicine, University of Balamand. After obtaining the bachelor degree in general Biochemistry from the “Lebanese University of Beirut”, I achieved my master in "Molecular and Cellular Biology" at Université Pierre et Marie Curie (Paris VI) and PhD in “Biophysics” at Aix-Marseille University within the CINaM laboratory. The study was based on understanding the behavior of the lipid membrane and membrane protein. Afterwards, i was appointed as a professor at the faculty of sciences at the Lebanese University in which i gave undergraduate and graduate courses for 10 years. Currently, I am working on three major projects: The first is the electrophoretic behavior of a mixture of membrane proteins that aim at discovering new insights into membrane protein separation, the second project is related to diabetes and all the macro and micro complications from neuropathy, cardiopathy, nephropathy etc. and the third one is focusing on the effect of the demyelination of the peripheral nervous system. From these projects, i have authored and co-authored several scientific journal in peer reviewed articles. Moreover, I was appointed as deputy director of the Faculty of Sciences - Section Amchit of the Lebanese University and i have taken administrative responsibilities.
