Head of HIV/AIDS Unit joins Golden Key
Thursday, 03 September 2009
As CPUT celebrates the coming launch of Golden Key, the institution recognises one of its own who has recently achieved membership status.
Dr Ashraf Mohammed, Head of Department for the HIV/AIDS Unit, completed his postgraduate studies at the University of Cape Town where he developed his profile in the medical field.
His doctoral thesis focused on the aspects of a tuberculosis (TB) screening test developed, which was subsequently included in the national guideline to HIV-positive patients.
Prior to graduating with his qualification, Dr Mohammed published several papers for peer review and submitted data to global medical bodies such as the Centre for Disease Control and the World Health Organisation to be included in their meta-analysis studies.
As a result of these fine academic achievements, he was invited to become a member of the Society earlier this year.
