Heba-Allah El-Sayed has an impressive academic background, culminating in a Ph.D. in Entomology from Cairo University in 2023. Her doctoral thesis, titled “In Vivo and in Vitro Evaluation of the Effect of Egyptian Propolis and Bee Venom on the Honey Bee (Apis mellifera L.) Health,” delved into the chemical profile of honey bee venom (HBV) and Egyptian ethanolic propolis extract (EP) using advanced analytical techniques like FTIR spectroscopy, GC-MS, and HPLC. The study identified methyl gallate and phthalic acid in EP and demonstrated the antiviral activity of both HBV and EP against honey bee cell lines infected with DWV, BQCV, VDV-1, and KV, as detected by RT-PCR and RT-qPCR. Moreover, the research showed that HBV and EP could improve cell health and increase the lifespan, activities, and density of bee workers when used as supplements in bee nutrition. These findings suggest potential applications of HBV and EP as supplements and antiviral drugs in honeybee apiaries. Prior to her Ph.D., Heba-Allah completed her Master’s degree, focusing on the detection of Deformed wing virus (DWV) and Kakugo virus (KV) in honeybees in Egypt. Her thesis, titled “First detection of Deformed wing virus (DWV) and Kakugo virus (KV) in honeybees (Apis mellifera L.) (Hymenoptera-Apidae) in Egypt by RT-PCR,” utilized molecular techniques to isolate and identify these viruses, providing valuable insights into their presence and prevalence in Egyptian honeybee populations. Heba-Allah’s academic journey began with a Bachelor of Science degree from Cairo University in 2007, laying the foundation for her subsequent research and achievements in the field of Entomology. She has also contributed to published research articles, including a recent publication on the antiviral activities of Egyptian ethanolic propolis extract and honey bee venom against honey bees infected with multiple viruses in vitro.
