Professional Profile

At the beginning of his career, Ahmed worked as a demonstrator and assistant lecturer for 5 years at the Chemistry Department - Faculty of Science - Assiut University in Egypt. He was fascinated by protein science and the regulatory roles of proteins in the manipulation of different biological processes. Then, Ahmed joined the structural biology laboratory at the National University of Singapore one of the most prestigious universities in the world to obtain his Ph.D. degree. During his Ph.D. study, Ahmed learned different biochemical and biophysical approaches for protein characterization. After graduation, he returned to Assiut University in Egypt to perform his duties and work as a lecturer of biochemistry. Also, he supervised several Ph.D. and MSc students for 3 years. Then, Ahmed joined Albert-Ludwigs-Universität Freiburg in Germany as a postdoctoral fellow. In Germany, he extended his knowledge in protein science and handled membrane protein expression and purification.

Currently, Ahmed is working as a postdoctoral fellow at Prof. Wolfgang’s group to address various epigenetic concerns with the help of the rest of the lab colleagues who have amazing knowledge in different disciplines.
