Global Voice for Purpose-Driven Change

A Leader Dedicated to Human Growth, Emotional Resilience & Purpose-Driven Change

Dr. Aisha Alsheikh is the founder of MOVE™, a human development initiative created to help individuals understand their stories, strengthen their voice, and turn lived experiences into tools for confidence, connection, and meaningful leadership.

She is a UK-trained Medical Scientist with a PhD in Pharmacy & Pharmacology, specializing in neurodegenerative disease mechanisms and cardiovascular research.

With more than 20 years of cross-disciplinary education and experience across the UK and Qatar, she brings together scientific understanding, emotional development, and practical human-transformation methods to support deep and sustainable growth.

Her work bridges the precision of science with a deeply human perspective helping people navigate change, build emotional resilience, communicate with clarity, and lead their lives with intention.

MOVE™ is the embodiment of her belief that every human voice carries value, and that understanding one’s personal story is the first step toward meaningful growth.

A Scientist with a Human Lens

Aisha’s academic journey began in biomedical science and expanded into regenerative medicine and neuroscience-related research.

Her PhD research at the University of Bath (UK) explored how amyloid beta peptides contribute to microvascular dysfunction in Alzheimer’s disease, offering new insights into disease progression and vascular biology.

Her work has been published in respected scientific journals including Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, Oxidative Medicine and Cellular Longevity, Platelets, Journal of Biological Chemistry, and Cellular Signaling.

She has presented at national and international scientific conferences and has supervised and taught university-level students as a Graduate Research Teaching Assistant.

Although her foundation is rooted in scientific research, Dr. Aisha’s curiosity expanded from understanding cellular mechanisms to understanding the entire human experience of how people think, feel, communicate, and cope with life’s complexities.

This evolution naturally led her to the fields of emotional wellbeing, behavioral change, personal development, and expressive communication.

A Journey That Evolved into Leadership

Dr. Aisha’s leadership did not emerge from a single event or a course, but it grew through years of real-world roles and meaningful service.

She coordinated youth initiatives with the Red Crescent, led volunteer teams, organized community projects, mentored students and young professionals, facilitated group workshops, and guided individuals through personal and emotional development. Through these responsibilities, she developed a leadership style grounded in empathy, clarity, and human connection.

Her global leadership exposure deepened when she was selected by the U.S. Department of State for the International Visitor Leadership Program (IVLP) — one of the world’s most respected and prestigious professional exchange programs for emerging leaders.

IVLP alumni include more than 500 global figures, among them H.E. Sheikh Hamad bin Jassim bin Jaber Al Thani, former Prime Minister of Qatar.

She was also nominated twice by the U.S. Embassy in Qatar to represent the country in the fields of entrepreneurship, small businesses development, and women’s empowerment as recognition of her contribution to human development and community engagement.
