Prior to this he had studied biochemistry also at Imperial College London, having been drawn to the molecules and pathways that constitute life as we know it. With a keen interest in translational science, Youssef now focuses on taking advantage of cutting-edge technologies to develop new tools for diagnosing infectious diseases, particularly neglected tropical diseases. With a current focus on new rapid Schistosoma field diagnostics, as part of a project funded by DZIF.
