Biography
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 research in cancer glycobiology resulted in multiple peer-reviewed publications, including three first-author papers, numerous scientific presentations, and a pending U.S. patent. She continued her cancer research as an NIH T32 Postdoctoral Fellow at NYU Grossman School of Medicine.
Norhan is currently a GI T32 Postdoctoral Fellow at Yale School of Medicine in the laboratory of Dr. Bubu Banini. Her current interests include patient-centered clinical research in Gastroenterology and Hepatology, with a particular focus on metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD/MASH) and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).
