Biography:
Dr. Ahmed Abd El Wahed, received his PhD in biology from Goettingen University, Germany in 2011. He established a mobile suitcase laboratory for the rapid detection of viruses, bacteria, and parasites. His model has been deployed in several African and Asian countries. He also has a focus on epitope mapping after immunisation and vaccination to identify the best candidate for vaccines using microarrays.
