Ahmed El-Gendy Discusses New Cancer Treatment
Egyptian scientist Ahmed El-Gendy, an associate professor in the Physics Department at the University of Texas at El Paso, has been awarded the 2026 Marie Curie Medal in recognition of his research on developing a technique that relies on magnetic mechanical torque to destroy cancer cells without the need to raise temperatures. This method involves injecting magnetic nanoparticles into the tumor, then applying a magnetic field that generates a mechanical torque to spin the particles, leading to the rupture of the cancer cell membrane and contributing to tumor size reduction. The technique is distinguished by not requiring high heat doses, which reduces side effects and potentially makes it effective against various types of solid tumors, such as breast and prostate cancers among others. El-Gendy’s team is working to complete further studies and animal experiments, secure the necessary funding, and then move on to human clinical trials, while ensuring the safety of nanomaterials and their safe exit from the body after treatment. The journey from preclinical research to hospital application is expected to take several years, pending regulatory approval from relevant authorities.
