Bio
Hello! My name is Mohammad and it’s a great pleasure to meet you. I am very passionate about mentoring students. Over the years, I have conducted and presented clinical research both within my home academic institutions and at national medical conferences. My past research and clinical experiences lie in the fields of cardiology, hematology and oncology, as well as general biology and physics. In my free time, I love cooking, hiking, and going to sports games. I look forward to guiding you along your research journey soon!Project ideas
Project ideas are meant to help inspire student thinking about their own project. Students are in the driver seat of their research and are free to use any or none of the ideas shared by their mentors.
Targeting spliceosome assembly proteins for Acute Myeloid Leukemia Therapy
Scientists are still looking for better ways to treat a type of blood cancer called acute myeloid leukemia (AML). This project will look into whether a special kind of protein, called spliceosome proteins, could be used as a new way to fight this cancer. These proteins usually help cells process genetic information properly, but in AML, they can be changed (mutated) and may appear in abnormal ways on cancer cells. This project will explore whether the immune system can be trained to recognize and attack these mutated proteins and review work being done on AML.
Teaching experience
During my undergraduate career, I served as a tutor for Physiology, teaching sophomore and junior students.Credentials
