About Me

I am Mujaheed, and I am glad you are here to learn more about me.

I am a tenured Professor of Health Governance at the Hertie School in Berlin and a Visiting Researcher at Imperial College Business School, London. I also serve on the editorial board of BMJ Public Health and am affiliated with the Center for Fundamental Rights at the Hertie School.

I am a health economist with research interests spanning health governance, pharmaceutical economics, and public policy. My work examines how incentives, regulation, and institutional design shape health system performance, with a particular focus on pharmaceutical innovation for rare and neglected diseases, access to medicines, and regulatory frameworks. In the same vein, I also study risky health behaviors and the role of policy in influencing individual and population-level health outcomes in both high-income and Low- and Middle-income countries.

My research is intended to inform academic discourse as well as decision-making by policymakers, multilateral organizations, and private-sector actors seeking evidence-based strategies to improve health outcomes, particularly in developing-country contexts.

I hold a PhD in Economics from Frankfurt School of Finance and Management and a Master in International Health Management from Imperial College London.
