Professor Ahmad is not just a highly skilled clinician, but he is a scientist at the same time. He specialises in managing diseases of the front of the eye, affecting the eyelid margins, the tear film, the eye surface conjunctiva and the cornea.
He was awarded a PhD in stem cell biology from Newcastle University in 2007 for his work on developing a novel stem cell therapy for corneal burns, which he is now successfully applying on patients who have lost their vision due to chemical burns.
His mix of research and clinical experience has been vital to translate some of his laboratory research findings into the treatment of debilitating eye diseases of the cornea and the ocular surface. He is known as an expert in inflammatory eye diseases of the cornea and conjunctiva.
Professor Ahmad did his medical student training at Newcastle University Medical School, qualifying in 1997, and completed his general medicine physician training in Newcastle. He undertook ophthalmology training in Newcastle upon Tyne from 2000-2010 and during this he took time out to do his PhD in stem cell biology at the Institute of Human Genetics in Newcastle.
After his scientific research Professor Ahmad returned to clinical work and undertook two specialist corneal fellowships, at St Paul’s Eye Unit (Liverpool) in 2011 and Moorfield’s Eye Hospital (London) in 2012.
