On
Thursday 12/19/2024, the Faculty of Pharmacy at the University of Jordan was
honored to host Professor Dr. Mamoun Al-Hamadsheh, one of the distinguished
Jordanian scientists in the field of drug discovery.
During
the lecture, Dr. Al-Hamadsheh shared his inspiring story about the development
of the drug Attruby™ (Acoramidis), which was recently approved by the US Food
and Drug Administration (FDA), to treat ATTR-CM amyloidosis, also known as
“Alzheimer’s of the heart.”
Following
the lecture, a dialogue took place between Dr. Mamoun and the audience, where
the distinguished guest answered the audience’s questions and gave them advice
on how to manage their future after completing their studies, perseverance, and
the spirit of teamwork. The Dean of the College, Dr. Rula Darwish, honored Dr.
Mamoun with a certificate in appreciation of the distinguished lecture he gave.
It
is worth noting that the attendees included a number of faculty members and a
group of college students from different years who expressed their pride in Dr.
Al-Hamadsheh and considered him a role model for all Jordanians.
