Taj Mohammad, M.Phil., Ph.D.

National Postdoctoral Fellow, AIIMS New Delhi

Dr. Taj Mohammad is a National Postdoctoral Fellow working as a Principal Investigator on an ANRF-funded project at the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS), New Delhi, India. His research focuses on genomic and proteomic analyses of complex diseases, disease modeling, structure-based drug discovery, and next-generation sequencing (NGS) analytics. Currently, he is dedicated to making bioinformatics more accessible to non-computational scientists by developing intuitive GUI platforms for drug discovery and multi-omics data analysis.

Dr. Mohammad completed his M.Phil. in Interdisciplinary Research and Ph.D. in Biological Sciences (Prostate cancer) under the mentorship of Prof. Md. Imtaiyaz Hassan at Jamia Millia Islamia, New Delhi.
