Mr. Rehman Hassan

Rehman Hassan is in the eleventh grade at Dulles High School. Devastated by the loss of his grandparents due to cancer and heart disease and realizing the many preventative measures that could be taken to prevent non-communicable diseases, Rehman founded an international public health organization in 2016, iCure Health, when he was in the seventh grade. iCure aims to educate and bring awareness to common diseases such as cancer and heart disease. In addition to bringing awareness, one of iCure’s major missions is to improve access to preventative care measures such as depression screenings, mammograms, fecal immunochemical tests, and colonoscopies. So far, iCure has helped physicians perform over 20,000 tests. Rehman serves as the CEO and founder of iCure and constantly works to help improve iCure’s reach and impact. In the last seven years, iCure has been fortunate to reach over 45,000 people around the globe from Bayamón, Puerto Rico to Doha, Qatar. iCure has over 30 chapters all over the world including chapters at Yale and the University of Toronto with most chapters formed in high schools, universities, and medical schools.

In his free time, Rehman enjoys being a political advocate for campaigns around the United States. Rehman’s political work has helped him reach over 32,300 people to urge them to exercise their right to vote by making phone calls, sending text messages, and talking to people in his community in person. One of Rehman’s other passions is teaching. In school, Rehman serves as a voluntary laboratory and teacher’s assistant for On-level Biology, Advanced Biology, AP Biology, Advanced Chemistry, and AP Environmental Science courses. Rehman enjoys being able to inspire children in his school and help them understand complex topics that they may have struggled with. Beyond his work to improve education in his school, Rehman works to help struggling students abroad. Rehman is currently working with 150 Afghan and Tajik students currently limited in their educational endeavors by political instability to educate them in science and social studies. Rehman is also working diligently to prepare these students for the GED exam with the American University of Afghanistan, so these students are able to escape the ruthless grasps of the Taliban by attending college abroad.

Rehman Is also dedicated to research. Medical research is an area of close personal importance to Rehman due to familial experiences with the unparalleled power of research. In the past, Rehman worked on a meta-analysis on risk factors associated with COVID-19 such as obesity and hypertension. On this project, Rehman reviewed 36,000 article abstracts from seven medical research databases. Rehman has also assisted with antibiotic resistance research in spinal cord injury patients at the Baylor College of Medicine as a research intern.

When he’s not leading iCure or educating his peers domestically and abroad, Rehman absolutely loves reading about new medical innovations, writing short stories, reading the memoirs of famous scientists, and swimming.
