Wael Awad is an Australian Research Council DECRA Fellow at the Biomedicine Discovery Institute, Monash University. He completed his M.Sc. at Cairo University and received a competitive European Commission Erasmus Mundus PhD fellowship at Lund University in Sweden, focusing on the structures and functions of glypicans and membrane-anchored proteins. He achieved significant recognition for his PhD dissertation, which earned the MAX-IV Synchrotron's PhD Thesis Award in 2015. Since transitioning to his current role as a research fellow at Monash University in November 2015, Dr. Awad has developed extensive expertise in protein biochemistry and cellular structural biology. He investigates the roles of poorly understood classes of antigens, particularly small molecule metabolites, in T cell immunity. His research has led to notable publications in prestigious journals such as Science and Nature Immunology. The goal of his work is to enhance understanding of how metabolite presentation influences T cell recognition of antigens, ultimately contributing to advances in therapeutic approaches for regulating MAIT cell immunity.
