Abu Hena Mostafa Kamal, PhD

Dr. Abu Hena Mostafa Kamal has been working as Technical Core Director, ATC, Metabolomics Core, Baylor College of Medicine, Houston, Texas. He had worked with Dr. Saiful Chowdhury as a Post-Doctoral Researcher at the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry at the University of Texas at Arlington, Texas. He has developed my academic career on a strong foundation of biological mass spectrometry and its applications in metabolomics and proteomics. His research interest is in the area of cancer biology and immune signaling using metabolomics and proteomics coupled to mass spectrometry. He received his bachelor’s and master’s degrees from Bangladesh and his Ph.D. degree in 2011 from the Chungbuk National University, South Korea. His Ph.D. research focused on understanding chloroplast, systematic analysis, and stress physiology of wheat using proteomic techniques. After that, he joined as a post-doctoral researcher at Korea Research Institute of Bioscience and Biotechnology, South Korea. He studied adipocyte proteins during the differentiation of brown preadipocytes using proteomics approaches. Later, he moved to Japan as a post-doctoral fellow at the Institute of Crop Science (NICS), Tsukuba, Japan, under the Japan Society of Promotion Science Fellowship to research flooding-responsive-proteins encoding genes in soybean using mass spectrometry-based proteomics.

His expertise is in mass spectrometry-based metabolomics, quantitative proteomics, PTM profiling, affinity-based proteomics, and further validating the candidate proteins with diverse molecular biology techniques.
