A recognition of leadership, innovation and service to the chemical sciences
Nanolyse is pleased to share that Dr Imad Ahmed, Chairman of Nanolyse Technologies, has been elected a Fellow of the Royal Society of Chemistry (FRSC).
Election to Fellowship recognises senior professionals who have made a sustained and meaningful contribution to the chemical sciences, not only through technical achievement, but through leadership, judgement and service to the wider community. It is a mark of professional trust as much as distinction.
For Imad, this recognition reflects a career spent bridging science, industry and real-world impact. As Chairman of Nanolyse, he has helped guide the company from early research into a business focused on delivering practical, deployable technologies for environmental protection and public health. His work has consistently emphasised usability, data integrity, and decision-making that work beyond the laboratory.
Leadership grounded in application and impact
Imad’s approach has always been rooted in translation — turning complex chemistry into tools that regulators, operators and organisations can use with confidence. At Nanolyse, this has meant focusing on bioavailability-based testing methods that better reflect real environmental risk while reducing costs, complexity, and delays in chemical analysis.
Colleagues and partners value his ability to balance scientific rigour with commercial realism, and to lead teams with clarity and restraint. His contribution has been less about prominence and more about creating the conditions for good science to deliver lasting value.

Imad has described the Fellowship as a collective achievement, reflecting the people and organisations he has worked with over many years. At Nanolyse, we see it as recognition not only of past contribution, but of a continued commitment to thoughtful leadership and responsible innovation.
We congratulate Imad on this well-deserved honour and look forward to the work ahead. 🎉
