SALISBURY, MD---Dr. Sahar Saleem, professor of radiology at Cairo University, Egypt, continues Salisbury University’s fall “Intersection of Art and Science” cultural events series with the presentation “Scanning the Pharaohs: CT Imaging of the New Kingdom Royal Mummies.”

Her talk is 7 p.m. Thursday, November 29, in the Great Hall of Holloway Hall. (This lecture was rescheduled from its original date of December 3.)

Using cutting-edge multi-detector computed tomography and DNA analysis, Saleem was involved in recent research that provided new information about Egypt’s royal mummies via new imaging techniques.
