Anwar Borai

Section Head of Clinical Biochemistry

Anwar Borai is Section Head of Clinical Biochemistry at King Abdulaziz Medical City in Jeddah and a Professor at King Saud Bin Abdulaziz University for Health Sciences. Clinical biochemistry underpins a large share of everyday diagnostic decisions, and a central concern of his work is the reference interval: the range against which every patient result is judged. Reference intervals derived from other populations can misclassify healthy people and mask disease, and his research addresses the derivation of population-appropriate intervals and their role in reducing health disparities in laboratory diagnosis.
