Reem Mahrat is a passionate entrepreneur and advocate who has dedicated her life to transforming healthcare. With over two decades of experience, Reem has combined her background in chemical engineering with her personal journey living with an autoimmune disease to create meaningful change in the world of biotechnology and precision medicine. As the Founder and CEO of EGE, Reem is leading groundbreaking efforts in epigenetic gene editing to offer new hope for people living with autoimmune conditions. This mission is deeply personal to her. “Living with an autoimmune disease has shaped not just my life but my purpose. It’s made me more determined to create solutions that give others the hope and help I wish I’d had in my toughest moments,” she shares. Reem’s work doesn’t stop there. As the founder of Eaze Bio, she is committed to advancing women’s health through innovative therapies.

Sharing my story helps create a sense of community and lets others know they’re not alone,” she says. Reem is also a vocal advocate for equity and empowerment, particularly for women. As a chapter leader for Together Women Rise, she works to uplift women globally. Her active involvement in organizations like the American Association for Precision Medicine, AACR, and HBA reflects her commitment to driving progress in healthcare and ensuring that patients are always at the center of innovation. Her upcoming book, Feed Your Good Gene Avoid Autoimmune Diseases, is not just about science—it’s about giving people tools and knowledge to take control of their health. It’s a reflection of her belief that science and compassion must go hand in hand. Reem’s journey is a testament to the power of turning personal challenges into a purpose-driven mission. Through her work, she continues to bridge the gap between cutting-edge innovation and the deeply human need for hope, care, and connection.
