Details:
Fahmy received his Ph.D. in biophysics and immunopathology in 2002 from The Johns Hopkins School of Medicine. Prior to his graduate work he worked as a senior research engineer at E. I. du Pont de Nemours and Company and in the fluorchemicals and fluoropolymers research division at the Wilmington Experimental Station. He is the recipient of the Wallace H. Coulter Foundation Early Career Translational Research Award in Biomedical Engineering and the National Science Foundation Career Award. His work focuses at the interface of nanomaterials and immunity, development of vaccines and targeted delivery of therapeutics for boosting immunity in health and disease, and detection of the immune response.
