Dalia Halawani, PhD
About Me
Dr. Dalia Halawani is an Assistant Professor in Neuroscience at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai. Her research aims to identify therapeutic targets to drive neuroregeneration and restore function in the injured or aging nervous system. By leveraging the regenerative capacity of the peripheral nervous system, she uncovers molecular mechanisms that can be harnessed to repair the central nervous system. She uses genetic engineering, iPSC-derived neurons, preclinical models, multi-omics, and behavioral assays to uncover druggable pathways. Dr. Halawani is passionate about translating discoveries into therapies to advance next-generation interventions for neurological injury, neurodegeneration, and aging-related decline.
