Serial innovator Prof. Hossam Haick has been selected as one of the world’s most influential people for 2016 by the American magazine GOOD.
Haick’s innovations range from electronic skin, the sniff phone for diagnosing cancer through breath samples, through to the development of a “Self- Administered Adhesive Patch for Detection of Tuberculosis,” supported by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.
In March, Prof. Haick received the Humboldt Research Award from the Alexander Von Humboldt Foundation in Germany.
Haick, a member of the Wolfson Faculty of Chemical Engineering and the Russell Berrie Nanotechnology Institute, received the award for his tremendous contribution to the diagnosis of diseases through innovative markers that are present in the breath and skin.
