\u201cMy story begins with my father.\u201d<\/b><\/b><\/p>

He was diagnosed with liver cancer and passed away within a year. For the first time in my life, I felt utterly helpless as I watched him fight a disease I could not stop.<\/p>

\u201cHe believed I could save him. Sadly, I could not. But his memory now fuels my determination to save others.\u201d<\/b><\/b><\/p>

That moment changed the course of my life \u2014 and gave birth to the vision behind Rosetta Omics<\/span><\/strong>.<\/p>

Only weeks after losing my father<\/strong>, I made a life-changing decision:<\/strong> I left my tenured academic role as an Assistant Professor<\/strong> at Cairo University and my post-doctoral position at a French research institute. I chose instead to dedicate my life to developing innovative therapies that could change outcomes for patients like him.<\/p>

Over the next five years, I worked in C-level positions at Cilcare<\/b><\/span>, a French-American biotech and R&D company, where I led drug and device development projects in collaboration with hundreds of companies, executives, researchers, and medical doctors worldwide.<\/p>

This journey gave me not only deep scientific and industry expertise but also the global network and perspective needed to build a global healthcare<\/strong> company truly committed to delivering real impact<\/strong>.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\u201cWhen I was deciding on a name for the newly to be born startup company, I wanted a name that carries both personal meaning and a sense of purpose. I grew up just a few kilometers from Rosetta<\/strong> (Rashid – \u0631\u0634\u064a\u062f), a city in northern Egypt<\/strong> on the Nile Delta. It was there, in 1799<\/strong>, that a French soldier discovered the Rosetta Stone during Napoleon\u2019s campaign<\/strong>.<\/p>

That stone changed the course of history. Carved in 196 BC<\/strong>, it bore the same decree in three scripts: hieroglyphics<\/strong>, Demotic<\/strong>, and Ancient Greek<\/strong>. Centuries later, in 1822<\/strong>, it became the key that allowed Jean-Fran\u00e7ois Champollion<\/strong>, father of Egyptology<\/strong>, fascinated by the mysteries of ancient Egypt, to finally decipher hieroglyphics and unlock the story of one of the world\u2019s oldest civilizations.<\/p>

I first saw the Rosetta Stone in person at the British Museum<\/strong> in May 2022<\/strong>, during my MBA coursework in London<\/strong>, just one month after I had begun working on our startup. Standing before it, I realized how powerful a metaphor<\/strong> it was for what we are trying to achieve.<\/p>

That is exactly our mission at Rosetta Omics<\/b><\/span>. Cancer writes its story in many biological languages, DNA<\/strong>, RNA<\/strong>, proteins<\/strong>, metabolites<\/strong>, lipids<\/strong> etched onto tumors like codes on a stone. On their own, these scripts are overwhelming. But with multiomics and artificial intelligence, we aim to be the Rosetta Stone that deciphers them, transforming complexity into clarity and mystery into knowledge.<\/p>

For me, the name Rosetta<\/i><\/strong> is more than history. It is a reminder of where I come from and where I live, and is a symbol of the bridge we are building between science<\/strong> and hope for all humanity<\/strong>.\u201d<\/p>
