Maaz Asher Khurram (Class of 2013) was recently named in the 2021
Foreign Minister's Honours List of ‘Leaders under 40'. The list honours 25
Overseas Pakistanis for their exceptional performance and leadership in
the fields of Science and Innovation, Community Service, Arts and Culture,
Entrepreneurship and Sports. He was nominated from the United States,
alongside Wardah Inam, CEO of a dental AI startup from MIT called
'Overjet', for their contributions in ‘Science and Innovation’. He is currently
pursuing his PhD in Stem Cell Biology at NYU School of Medicine.
At Aitchison, he received the College academic blazer and was actively involved in extracurricular activities. After graduating
from Aitchison, he went to University of California, Berkeley for biomedical science and later upon recommendation from
Nobel Laureate Dr. Jennifer Doudna, he spent a year at Osaka University in Japan as a Frontier Lab fellow. During his time in
the University of Copenhagen, he served as a Santander Scholar to study and develop healthcare policy for aging populations.
After graduating from Berkeley, Maaz was recruited as a researcher at the Gladstone Institutes for three years under Nobel
Laureate Dr. Shinya Yamanaka, whose landmark discoveries have led to cutting-edge stem cell therapies and inspired the
further development of mRNA technology enabling Moderna’s Covid-19 vaccine.
