2020-2024
PhD Research Project- Biomedicine
My research project aimed to identify the epidemiological and clinical characteristics of nasopharyngeal carcinoma and characterize its molecular profile through proteomics and bioinformatics for the first time in Morocco and Africa. This study lays a foundation for mechanistic studies and identifies potential biomarkers that might improve the early diagnosis and therapeutic pathways of this type of cancer.
2022-present
Committee member and mentor- ReachSci Society at Cambridge
Teaming up with PhDs from top universities, I help develop and design research programs for students and early career researchers, while also providing mentorship and high-quality training in scientific research.
2023-present
Mentor/Teacher- Lumiere Education
I mentor and teach at Lumiere by providing excellent students with personalized research programs to learn about the cutting-edge in their field of interest and produce an independent research project and scientific paper.

Ayman was accepted into the prestigious Fulbright program and would become the FIRST Fulbrighter from Morocco to study at Stanford. His work here created a proteomic foundation for nasopharyngeal carcinoma. I'm excited about how that foundation will be extended in coming years.
Parag Mallick
Associate Professor at Stanford University AND Founder at Nautilus BiotechnologyI had the honor to supervise Dr. Ayman Reffai during his PhD and he was brilliant. Ayman is an outstanding independent scientist with great communication skills and a unique combination of technical expertise, leadership, and passion for research and mentoring.
