Biography

Mohammed’s research at the University of Cambridge focuses on building cutting-edge biosensors for pathogen diagnostics and single-molecule analysis through the utilisation of solid-state nanopore sensing and DNA nanotechnology. One of his research projects is developing the fastest blood test for sepsis. His efforts have earned him many awards and recognitions, including recognition as one of the top 21 innovators to watch in Cambridge and East England, and he was also selected as the first male student for the prestigious Rawabi Holding Award, selected from 14,000 students.

Alongside his research, Mohammed works on a global initiative that he founded in 2021 - called ReachSci. Through this initiative, he has delivered 17 research and innovation programmes in 49 countries. Under his leadership, ReachSci inspired hundreds of aspiring innovators and researchers and supported the creation of 35+ startups, resulted in 50+ publications, and delivered 15+ locally impactful projects.
