Ahmed Abdelmoneim is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Comparative Biomedical Sciences at the LSU School of Veterinary Medicine. He holds a PhD from Purdue University (2016), an MS from the University of Poitiers (France) (2011), and a BVMS from Assiut University College of Veterinary Medicine (Egypt) (2007). His research program focuses on understanding how environmental contaminants may impact the early development of organisms, particularly assessing impacts on the neuroendocrine system through investigations using zebrafish as a model organism. He utilizes a wide range of tools including molecular biology, transgenesis, bright field and fluorescent microscopy, image analysis, analytical chemistry, and behavioral assays. He is currently coordinating and teaching in the Veterinary Toxicology course (VMED 5373) and is involved in teaching components in the graduate course Biomedical Cell and Molecular Biology (CBS7104). As a clinical toxicologist, he holds a partial appointment in LADDL and provides consultation on animal toxicity cases and oversees analytical testing in the Toxicology section. He has published several papers, including "Initial assessment of the toxicologic effects of leachates from 3-dimensional (3-D) printed objects on sperm quality in two model fish species" and "Fluorescent Reporter Zebrafish Line for Estrogenic Compound Screening Generated Using a CRISPR/Cas9-Mediated Knock-in System."
