Norhan Mohammed, MD, PhD

Norhan Mohammed is an MD-PhD–trained translational researcher with a focus on gastroenterology and hepatology. She earned her medical degree at Assiut University in Egypt, followed by clinical training in Gastroenterology and Hepatology at Assiut University Hospital before transitioning to full-time research. Norhan completed a Master’s in Medical Biochemistry with a concentration on the genetics of Gaucher disease, and subsequently received her PhD in Biochemistry (Summa Cum Laude) from Florida International University. Her doctoral work in cancer glycobiology resulted in three first-authored publications, several co-authorships, multiple conference presentations, and a pending U.S. patent.

Norhan continued her cancer research as a Postdoctoral Fellow at NYU Grossman School of Medicine through a competitive NIH T32 training grant. She later received an additional NIH T32 award in Investigative Gastroenterology, supporting her transition into GI-focused research as a Postdoctoral Fellow at Yale University, where she investigates the genetic drivers of portal hypertension. Norhan is pursuing a career as a physician-scientist in gastroenterology with an emphasis on precision medicine and improving patient outcomes.
