Upon completion of her doctorate in Medical Biochemistry & Molecular Biology [Thesis titled “Biochemical Studies Based on Signal Transduction by C-erbB-2 gene Product”, Laboratory of Breast and Ovarian Cancer Biology, Duke University Medical Center, Durham, NC, USA.], Dr. Samar K. Kassim at Ain Shams Faculty of Medicine directed research in basic cancer research. This led to the publication of many powerful articles in the area of cancer diagnosis and follow up (Mansour et al, 2012, Eissa et al, 2011, Eissa et al, 2005, Kassim et al, 2004, Eissa et al, 2003 etc.) where she helped establishing detection systems for many epithelial cancers using tumor and genetic markers. At 2002, she joined Glasgow Caledonian University where she identified the differences between breast and ovarian cancers in the Androgen receptor gene methylation and exon one CAG repeat length (Kassim et al, 2004-2). Dr. Kassim also joined important research in the molecular events accompanying hepatitis C viral infections among Egyptian patients, which led to the publications of many articles as (Hassan et al, 2007, and Hassan et al, 2002 etc.) where her research team suggested many immunological events related to the chronicity of HCV. Dr. Kassim directed Bioinformatics research of breast cancer where she helped the development of an Association system for breast cancer microarray (Hana et al, 2009), a parallel incremental protein clustering system (Sharaf Eldin, 2011). She also directed the Bioinformatics research in HCV infection where she helped the presentation of An Ensemble Feature Extraction Classifier for the Analysis of Integrated Data of HCV-HCC Related DNA Microarray (under submission). This feature enables the prediction of hepatocellular carcinoma among chronic HCV infected patients. She also supervised the development of a valid and useful tool for screening of Protein Data Bank, searching for pi interactions. She also supervised the development of a Data Mining Approach for the Prediction of Hepatitis C Virus protease Cleavage Sites (Gamal-Eldin et al, 2011). Lastly, she published a large longitudinal study in the American Journal of Gastroenterology about the Host and viral determinants of the outcome of exposure to HCV infection genotype 4 (Kamal et al, 2014). With the team of H3ABioNet, She published in Nature, Science and Genome Research . Her RG score is 30.03, Scopus h index: 16 and her publications were cited 1131 times.
