In his TEDx talk, Dr. Mahdi will introduce this lesser known type of HIV and its significance in the race to stop AIDS.
Mohamed Mahdi, 37, Sudan
After graduating as a medical doctor from the University of Debrecen in 2004, he gained a postgraduate
degree in Public Health and Preventive Medicine. After training in infectious diseases, his fascination
with the human immunodeficiency virus led him to pursue a career in academic medicine, particularly in
the field of retroviruses, in which he has currently achieved a PhD degree in HIV. His research is focused
on studying the susceptibility of HIV to antiretroviral drugs, in addition to exploring new therapeutic
potentials that may help tackle the viral infectivity and the long standing AIDS pandemic. Along with his
supervisor Prof. József Tőzsér, he has proudly established a prominent HIV research group in Hungary, a
group that is steadily expanding, with the aid of new enthusiast medical and doctoral students.
