I believe BioTech can be the UAE’s next moonshot. As a Rockefeller University–trained inventor and company builder, I’m here to help make that happen. I was honored to receive the UAE’s first Golden Visa as an “Inventor” and have spent the last 3 years developing a vision for a public-private BioTech JV in Abu Dhabi. My goal: scalable cures, homegrown IP, and a thriving UAE biotech economy. JOIN OUR UAE & GCC BIOTECH COMMUNITY: https://www.linkedin.com/groups/13182208 My background: • Ph.D. from The Rockefeller University, trained in a Nobel + King Faisal Prize-winning lab • Invented a cellular engineering biotech platform that led to an NYSE IPO • Collaborated with Fortune 500 companies • Passionate about building and managing high-performing teams to reach bold goals Let’s connect: As the Middle East crafts its long-term BioTech vision, I’m open to consulting and advisory roles where my expertise can help shape and scale impactful programs. Vision going forward: As global BioTech continues to converge with data science, AI, and sovereign innovation strategies, I see tremendous potential to apply my experience in pioneering platform technologies, building public-private partnerships, and scaling innovation ecosystems. My vision is to help shape globally relevant, locally empowered BioTech hubs—especially across emerging markets such as the Middle East—by advancing versatile, privately held technologies like Chromovert® and mentoring the next generation of scientific and business leaders. Whether through executive leadership, advisory roles, or cross-sector initiatives, I seek to align with organizations committed to bold, mission-driven innovation with measurable societal impact.
