27-12-2019
Professor Marriane Abi Fadel, dean of the faculty of pharmacy at USJ, has been elected as an active member of the National Academy of Pharmacy (of France) after being nominated by French professors in the biology department. Earlier in June, Abi Fadel was invited to France to the meeting of the third section (biology) in the Academy to present the research work she conducted between Lebanon and France related to the discovery of the PCSK9 gene responsible for the hypercholesterolemia. The breakthrough, to recall, has allowed to develop two medications to treat cholesterol related diseases and cardiovascular complications. Abi Fadel received the ‘Hygia Salus’ Medal from the president of the Academy and from its permanent secretary with the newly elected national and international members. (An Nahar, December 27, 2019)
