College of Pharmacy Discusses Master\u2019s Thesis on Dual-Loaded Nanoemulsions to Enhance Antibacterial Therapy
\nThe College of Pharmacy at the University of Mosul hosted, on Thursday, September 3, 2026, the Master\u2019s thesis defense submitted by postgraduate student Raghad Radwan Ramzi Younus, entitled:
\n> “Dual-Loaded Nanoemulsion: The Synergistic Strategy for Antibacterial Therapy”
\n>
\nThe study addressed the development of dual-loaded nanoemulsions to enhance antibacterial efficacy against the escalating global challenge of antimicrobial resistance. Clove oil-based and medium-chain triglyceride (MCT) oil-based nanoemulsions were prepared using low-energy emulsification methods, loaded with levofloxacin and bee propolis, both individually and in dual combination.
\nThe selected formulations underwent rigorous stability testing along with physicochemical characterization, followed by an evaluation of their antibacterial activity against selected Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacterial strains. Clove oil-based nanoemulsions generally exhibited stronger antibacterial potency compared to MCT oil-based systems, with dual-loaded formulations demonstrating enhanced antibacterial action.
\nThe study findings highlight the promising potential of dual-loaded nanoemulsions as a modern drug delivery strategy capable of boosting antibacterial efficacy and addressing challenges linked to antimicrobial resistance.
\nThe examination committee comprised:
\n* Assistant Professor Dr. Ali Abdul-Hakim Hamid \u2013 College of Pharmacy, University of Mosul \u2013 Chair
\n* Assistant Professor Dr. Twana Mohammad Mohammad Wais \u2013 College of Pharmacy, University of Sulaimani \u2013 Member
\n* Assistant Professor Dr. Zahraa Amer Hashem \u2013 College of Pharmacy, University of Mosul \u2013 Member
\n* Assistant Professor Dr. Muhanad Abdul-Sattar Mahmoud \u2013 College of Pharmacy, University of Mosul \u2013 Member and Supervisor
\nFollowing a thorough scientific discussion of the study’s methodologies and findings, the committee officially accepted the thesis.
\nWe extend our best wishes to the student for continued success in her academic and professional journey.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
