Mohammed Rohaim

Dr. Mohammed Rohaim is a Senior Research Associate in Biomedical and Life Sciences at Lancaster University's Faculty of Health and Medicine. His research explores innate immunity mechanisms against viral infections, particularly focusing on host-virus interactions and interferon-driven defenses. He employs genome-wide technologies to understand genetic factors determining viral resistance and susceptibility.

Research interests focus on:

• Virus-host cell interactions and molecular warfare mechanisms
• Evolutionary dynamics of RNA viruses
• Innovative vaccine design and immunization strategies
• Development of rapid diagnostic tools for viral subtypes
• Transcriptomic and proteomic analysis of viral pathogens

His research outputs primarily investigate viral pathogenesis of influenza and coronaviruses through advanced molecular techniques. Recent publication examines contamination challenges in cell culture systems.

Editorial activities span prestigious journals including Virology Journal, npj Vaccines, and Scientific Reports. Conference participation includes presentations on avian influenza control strategies and infection control methodologies.
