Research Projects

From 2007 to 2009, He participated in a CNEPRU project at the University of Tlemcen, guided by Professor Atik-Bekkara Fawzia, studying the antioxidant power of plant extracts from the Tlemcen region (Code: F 02020060040) 🌿. From 2010 to 2013, He joined another CNEPRU project under Professor Bendimered Nassima, focusing on the constituents of medicinal and aromatic plant extracts from Western Algeria (Code: E02020090065) 🌺. From 2016 to 2020, I worked on a CNEPRU project with Professor Atik-Bekkara Fawzia, exploring the biological and pharmacological potential of algae in Algerian environments (Code: D01N01UN130120150028) 🪸. From 2020 to 2023, I contributed to a PRFU project led by Professor Belyagoubi-Benhammou Nabila, investigating the biological, pharmacological, and cosmetic potential of Pistacia atlantica metabolites (Code: D01N01UN130120200006) 🌳. In 2023, I participated in a PRFU project with Dr. Badid Naima, addressing environmental pollution from olive by-products and their bio-therapeutic and cosmetological potential 🍈.

Research focus

Dr. Nabila Belyagoubi-Benhammou’s research focuses on the bioactivity of plant extracts, particularly in the areas of enzyme inhibition, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory activities.
