Nazia Mojib

Dr. Nazia Mojib is a Lecturer in the Department of Biology at Spelman College, where she has served as faculty since 2018. Her teaching portfolio includes foundational courses such as BIO110 Population Biology, BIO125 Molecular Biology and Genomics, and BIO320 Molecular Genomics and Proteomics, emphasizing data-driven approaches in modern biology.

Her educational background includes a Ph.D. from the University of Alabama at Birmingham and both M.Sc. and B.Sc. degrees from the University of Calcutta.

Dr. Mojib's research centers on leveraging next-generation sequencing data and bioinformatics tools to investigate the evolution of biomolecules—particularly receptors—in signaling pathways across biological systems spanning prokaryotes to multicellular eukaryotes. Her work integrates molecular evolution, genomics, and marine ecology to decode communication networks in diverse organisms.

Analysis of her publications reveals a consistent focus on comparative 'omics' approaches in marine environments, with recurring themes in receptor evolution, plankton population dynamics, and sensory biology. Her methodology bridges computational biology with experimental validation to address fundamental questions in molecular adaptation.

Dr. Mojib maintains active research collaboration with institutions including Georgia Institute of Technology and King Abdullah University of Science and Technology, though no formal advisees or grants are documented in the provided materials.
