Ahmad Nabhan

Dr. Ahmad Nabhan is an Assistant Professor specializing in Cell Biology, Development and Physiology. His research focuses on stem-niche communication mechanisms, particularly in lung alveolar stem cells and their role in regeneration, cancer, and fibrosis. He develops innovative genetic engineering and organoid screening platforms to study cellular interactions. His work bridges basic science and translational medicine, aiming to reprogram stem cell signaling for precision therapies.

Research projects include identifying genetic factors in alveolar cell differentiation and exploring bidirectional stem-niche signaling using high-throughput genetics. Notable contributions include creating a human lung cell atlas and advancing Wnt signaling therapeutics. His studies have been highlighted in Nature Reviews Drug Discovery and Nature Medicine.

Dr. Nabhan has led teams analyzing kidney, lung, and spleen tissues in the Tabula Muris Consortium, contributing to single-cell transcriptomic atlases. His work on directed evolution of Wnt pathway modulators offers promising drug development insights.
