السيرة الذاتية

Dr. Nayef A. Mazloum is an Adjunct Associate Professor at Hamad Bin Khalifa University. He graduated from the American University of Beirut in 1994 and completed his PhD in biochemistry and molecular biology at New York Medical College in Valhalla in 2003.

Dr. Nayef A. Mazloum worked as an instructor of microbiology and immunology at Weill Cornell Medical College in New York. He did his postdoctoral training at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center and worked at Weill Cornell Medicine-Qatar (WCM-Q).

Dr. Mazloum’s research focuses on the molecular aspects of DNA repair mechanisms, the stability of the genome, and how the dysfunction of these regulatory pathways could lead to cancer, age-related or metabolic diseases.

His lab employs cellular, molecular, and genetic tools to investigate altered molecular pathways in metabolic disorders and cancer. Dr. Mazloum actively collaborates with local stakeholders in Qatar, including Hamad Medical Corporation, Qatar University, Texas A&M University, Qatar Biomedical Research Institute, and Hamad Bin Khalifa University. He also collaborates with global investigators at Harvard Medical School, Mayo Clinic, Brown University, and the University of East Anglia.
