Dr. Khaled Ghattass is a scientist, researcher, and influencer who, through social media, is now conducting workshops on topics that will revive parts of our civilization, spread some awareness, and contribute to creating a state of hope in Lebanon and the Arab World.
Dr. Khaled poses serious and humorous subjects from poems, books, films, songs, words, proverbs and ideas with the aim of entertaining, raising awareness, educating, and to share a corrective view of today’s human conditions and growing problems.
He completed his BSc in analytical Chemistry from Beirut Arab University in 2005 and joined the American University of Beirut (AUB) where he finished his master’s degree in Organic Chemistry in 2008. One year later, he decided to join the ongoing battle between scientific research and cancer and earned his PhD in cellular and molecular biology (breast cancer) from AUB in 2013. Dr. Khaled was appointed as the business development director of a multinational clinical research organization in Riyadh. He was also an advisor to the directorate of research and studies at the Ministry of Health in Kingdom of KSA. In 2015, Dr. Khaled moved to Spain to pursue another master’s degree in business administration (MBA) at one of the world’s top universities (IE Business School), after which he moved to his current position as Head of Business Operations and Planning for Middle East Countries in one of the top 4 multinational pharmaceutical companies.
It is a social initiative gathering people from different ages, backgrounds, and regions, to fight individual life and revive civilized behaviors and concepts that are fading away.
The initiative tries to restore the balance in our lives by working on the development and growth of individuals and to reinforce social concepts such as belonging, friendship, family, trust and so on. Its main and most prominent objective is to build a balanced human being at all levels.
