Biography:
- Mourad Tayebi was awarded a PhD in Neuroimmunology from Imperial College.
- He worked as Senior Research Fellow at the University of Sydney before returning to the UK and accepting an academic position at the Royal Veterinary College leading a team of scientists with a specific focus on protein misfolding diseases.
- He was offered a Faculty position at UT Health where he led a team of scientists interested in investigating the molecular mechanisms underlying protein misfolding/aggregation.
- His research focuses on refining the therapeutic strategies through developing novel antibodies that would specifically recognize the oligomeric forms of misfolded proteins.
- His team developed a panel of camelid antibodies able to transmigrate across the blood-brain barrier and enter the cell membrane of neurons.
- Mourad is a qualified Veterinary Surgeon with an MSc in Veterinary Pathology.
- He was awarded a PhD in Neuroimmunology from Imperial College.
