Mohammad’s primary research interest is to elucidate the function of the small/volatile metabolites in disease and cancer cells in the translational and clinical research. He has expertise on bio-analytical chemistry, multidimensional chromatography, mass spectrometry, metabolomics and omics data analysis. He is working on the application of high-resolution omics techniques for clinical application like VOCs from microbes, breath VOCs to develop disease diagnosis, screening, staging, monitoring, surveillance, prediction or prognosis.  Before joining Wake Forest, he worked with Professor Jane Hill at Dartmouth College on the volatile biomarker discovery of the infectious disease, particularly for Tuberculosis (TB). He loves to play and watch cricket in his spare time, and also likes to explore new places and getting involved in outdoor activities.
