In this week episode, we are joined by the visionary global expert, Professor Asif Ahmed.

We touch upon the important figures and mentors that played a role in his early founded success as a vascular scientist, discovering two protective pathways to prevent pre-eclampsia, a condition that leads to 1 in 50 deaths for women during pregnancy. 

Not only does he share his journey into the world of science but also his incredible story of successes and challenges that he faced and overcame as he founded Aston Medical school. His passion for social mobility shines though as he speaks about the type of medics, doctors and professionals he sought out to assist and mentor in his role within this school.
