Biography
Ahmed Khattab is a Professor of medical research & clinical practice at the school of Health & Social Care. He was educated and trained at Reading University, Royal Berkshire Hospital and St Mary’s Hospital Medical School in London. He also held an honorary position at the Royal Bournemouth and Christchurch Hospitals. Ahmed is a physician by training with special interests in general medicine and medicine for the elderly. His research portfolio encompasses a broad range of health and clinical research programmes, including stroke, vascular disease, diabetes, respiratory, autonomic nervous system, neurodegenerative diseases, gastro-intestinal, haematology, environmental and public health as well as education research. In addition to leading and supporting a number of research programmes within the school, he also supervises a number of PhD, DProf, MSc and BSc students. His research group (i) engages in original and applied research in biomedical and clinical areas; (ii) works on the cellular and molecular basis of human disease; (iii) oversees the biomedical/clinical research programmes within the school; (iv) collaborates with local Hospitals and other Universities; (v) participates in the wider University multidisciplinary research programmes; and (vi) trains postgraduate research students...
Ahmed also leads and contributes to the teaching of a number of units at both under- and postgraduate levels. He has undertaken extensive collaborative research with NHS hospitals (at local and regional levels) as well as with national and international academic institutions. He also served on a number of Committees concerned with training and education. In addition to his membership of the UK General Medical Council, Ahmed is a chartered biologist and a Fellow of the Royal Institute of Public Health & Hygiene. He is also an active member of the Institute of Health Promotion & Education.
moreResearch
Professor Ahmed Khattab research portfolio encompasses a broad range of health/clinical research programmes, targeting the interface between academia & clinical practice, and maintaining a strong focus on translational research underpinning existing research themes within the university. Ahmed’s interests include research in the areas of stroke, vascular disease, diabetes, respiratory, autonomic nervous system, Parkinson's disease (PD), gastro-intestinal, haematology, public health & research underpinning curricula.
Ahmed has been involved in clinical and laboratory-based health science research relevant to the mission & goals of the school & the wider University. His work focuses on the biochemical, physiological & cellular basis of human disease with a view to develop an effective & accessible preventative as well as intervention strategies. Our stroke & vascular research programme has recently secured one million dollar grant from Qatar in collaboration with Weill Cornell Medical College to support developing stroke registry in Qatar & to investigate the link between TIA & cerebral blood flow. We are also developing & evaluating new equipment for diagnosing respiratory diseases in collaboration with Bournemouth Hospital. Our work on carotid plaque morphology, imaging techniques, blood flow modelling & stroke involves vascular surgeons, clinicians, physicists, engineers & volcanologist; this highlights the importance of interdisciplinary research in solving medical problems. Furthermore, our work linking PD, sense of smell & visual perception underpins our research in movement disorders & rehabilitation...
Ahmed is currently supervising ten PhD students most of whom are conducting their research within NHS settings.
We have secured 6 research ethical approvals.
We are now planning to submit more international bids in areas of vascular diseases, stroke, sports & cancer research in collaboration with our international partners in the USA.
