Reflecting Al-Ahliyya Amman University’s vision of promoting scientific research, excellence, and innovation, and with the support of the university’s senior administration, represented by Dr. Maher Hourani, Chairman of the Board of Directors, and Professor Sari Hamdan, President of the University, as well as the continuous encouragement of the Faculty of Pharmacy, represented by its Dean, Dr. Arwa Omar Al-Khatib, to foster research projects and keep pace with global developments in pharmaceutical sciences—particularly nanotechnology—the Faculty of Pharmacy has achieved a remarkable and unprecedented scientific accomplishment by winning first place in the “Intaleq” Graduation Projects Competition, part of the Hussein Fund for Excellence and Innovation Awards for the academic year 2025/2026, in the field of Health Sciences and Services. This well-deserved achievement came after two outstanding graduation projects from the Faculty of Pharmacy were selected to represent the university among the top ten projects in this category from a total of 39 projects submitted by public and private universities across Jordan. The first-place award was won by student Ali Ahmad Al-Aqili, under the supervision of Dr. Hamdi Nouri Al-Nsairat, for the project entitled: “Exploring Tocopherol Self-Assembly as a Biocompatible Nanocarrier.” This achievement culminated in the Faculty of Pharmacy’s participation in the National Exhibition of Nominated Projects, held on June 6, 2026, at the Hilton Hotel, under the patronage of Professor Azmi Mahafzah, Minister of Higher Education and Scientific Research, and Engineer Sami Smeirat, Minister of Digital Economy and Entrepreneurship. The event was attended by joint judging panels comprising academics and experts from the industrial sector. The winning project received the first prize of JOD 3,000. This distinguished accomplishment reflects the commitment of Al-Ahliyya Amman University and its Faculty of Pharmacy to linking academic research and undergraduate graduation projects with the drivers of economic growth and national challenges. Such efforts contribute to providing the Jordanian healthcare sector with innovative and sustainable solutions while preparing graduates who are capable of excelling and successfully integrating into the labor market. The University Presidency and the Faculty of Pharmacy extend their warmest congratulations to the winning student, the supervising faculty member, and all participating students, wishing them continued success, progress, and further achievements that will continue to elevate the name of Al-Ahliyya Amman University in scientific and academic forums.
