Hala Shokr is a Lecturer in Cardiovascular Sciences at the University of Manchester. Hala’s initial degree was in Pharmacy at the University of Alexandria and subsequently, she completed a PhD at Aston University with the Retinal Artery imaging group.
Hala is one of the UK’s leading proponents of dynamic retinal vessel imaging, an approach which can examine the diverse functions of the retinal artery as well as its structure.
Her research focuses on studying the intricacies of microvascular function, delving into the complex mechanisms that govern endothelial cells and vascular tone regulation. Hala combines dynamic retinal vascular analysis (dRVA) with molecular and cellular techniques to elucidate the connection between microvascular abnormalities, oxidative stress, lipid oxidation and systemic diseases.
Hala’s focus is on cardiovascular and neurovascular pathologies, in keeping with the theme of the Microvascular@Manchester group.
