Sherif Abouelhadid

Sherif Abouelhadid is a DL Tutor in Infection Biology at the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine (LSHTM) and a Research Fellow since 2019. He previously worked on Salmonella Typhi vaccine development in Egypt and joined LSHTM's Wren Lab as a Research Assistant before pursuing his PhD in glycobiology. His current roles include Deputy Director of LSHTM's Antimicrobial Resistance Centre and Head of its Biological & Pharmacological Sciences Pillar.

• Education:
  • PhD (2019) at LSHTM
  • Diploma in Biotechnology (2008) at Alexandria University
  • BSc in Pharmaceutical Sciences (2006) at Misr University for Science & Technology

Research interests span two areas: basic biology focuses on N-linked glycans' biological roles and glycosylation systems in organisms like Campylobacter jejuni, while applied science targets vaccine development and humanized glycoproteins using bacterial enzymes. His work bridges fundamental glycobiology with translational applications.

Article trends (15 most recent) highlight glycoengineering innovations, vaccine platforms (Streptococcus, Shigella, poultry pathogens), bacterial N-glycosylation mechanisms, and antimicrobial resistance links. Key disciplines include Vaccinology, Biochemistry, and Molecular Biology.

Grants include a LSHTM-funded project (2021-2022) for Shigella sonnei vaccine development. He serves as a reviewer for Microorganisms and co-founded The Per-Ankh Foundation for Science & Philosophy in 2012.
