Dr Ali M Mahmoud
Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the National Research Council of Italy
About
Mahmoud is a postdoctoral research fellow in the institute of biomolecular chemistry at the National Research Council of Italy. He holds a PhD in biomolecular sciences from the University of Luigi Vanvitelli.
Current research
Mahmoud's research focuses on deciphering the “onco-metabolic” signalling in cancer considering temporal profile and stream of events, a causal study between metabolism, epigenetics, and genetics.
Future research vision
Mahmoud would like to pursue a research career in cancer biology. Embracing new perspectives, learning and broadening my knowledge will enable me to impact on our understanding of cancer disease.
