I started teaching at Baghdad University in 2006, Having being promoted to Assistant professor in 2022 at the Biology department - University of Baghdad. My long-term interest in microbiology, genetic engineering, and bioinformatics started with the completion of a BSc degree in microbiology in 2001, at Al-Al-Mustansiriya University. This was followed by a higher diploma in genetic engineering in 2005 at Genetic Engineering Institute, an MSc in Microbiology in 2010 at Pune University - India, and a Ph.D. in bioinformatics in 2018 at Leicester University-UK

Hypermutable DNA sequences enable bacterial pathogens and commensals to colonize and persist in host organisms. I focus on the hypermutable DNA sequences of different bacterial species in point of bioinformatics view
Bioinformatics, Molecular biology and genetic engineering, Proteomics
Assistant Professor Mohammad's teaching is focused on Bioinformatics, bacterial genomics, genetic engineering, Molecular biology, and Proteomics. Projects are available to Fourth-year undergraduates, and higher diploma, MSc, and PhD students interested in applying molecular biological and bioinformatics techniques to bacterial research.
Assistant Professor Mohammad offers several opportunities for undergraduate and postgraduate research at MSc and PhD levels. Projects focus on the following areas: Phenotypic and genome-wide association studies of bacterial virulence factors Understanding genetic determinants of bacterial gene expression Computer modeling of genomic variation in bacterial populations
