Dr. Said’s career is grounded in extensive medical and scientific training at Cairo University, followed by postdoctoral research training at Tufts University and MCG, and faculty positions at UVA and WFUSM. As an educator, Dr. Said bridges basic science and clinical practice through a dynamic, case-based teaching approach that strengthens students' real-world clinical reasoning. This commitment to active learning is fueled by cutting-edge laboratory research into the mechanisms of cancer progression, metastasis, and therapeutic response. This discovery-driven approach directly informs Dr. Said's mission to prepare the next generation of medical researchers and clinicians; ultimately, empowering students to master the complexities of modern medical practice in an inclusive, collaborative environment.

Dr. Said’s research program investigates tumor suppressors and oncogenic pathways in bladder and ovarian cancers, with pioneering contributions that define the multifaceted roles of SPARC in tumor progression, metastasis, immune-metabolic modulation, and therapeutic response. In addition, Dr. Said provides broad institutional and national leadership through service on institutional committees, advisory groups, and major grant review panels.
