Mahmoud Ali Mohammad

Mahmoud Ali Mohammad, Ph.D., is an Instructor in the Department of Pediatrics-Nutrition at Baylor College of Medicine in Houston, Texas. His research focuses on amino acid metabolism, particularly arginine and citrulline pathways, with applications in pediatric and clinical nutrition. He holds a Ph.D. in Nutrition from Cairo University (2008), alongside earlier degrees from the same institution.

Key research interests include developmental changes in nutrient utilization, metabolic disorders in children undergoing surgery, and the interplay between diet, microbiome, and health. His work employs animal models (e.g., pigs, mice) and clinical trials to explore mechanisms of metabolic dysfunction and potential interventions.

Dr. Mohammad has published extensively on topics such as arginine depletion in piglets, citrulline recycling in mice, and the effects of lipid emulsions on neonatal brain development. His studies frequently bridge basic science and clinical practice, addressing challenges in pediatric nutrition and metabolic care.

While no awards or grants are explicitly listed, his research demonstrates a focus on translational medicine with applications in critical care, surgical outcomes, and nutritional support. He contributes to collaborative projects involving Baylor’s renowned medical and nutritional research teams.
