Metabolomics for Personalized Vaccinology

Dr. Mahbuba Rahman earned her B.Sc. (Honors), M.Sc in Microbiology and an M.S. in Environmental Science. She completed her PhD in Metabolic Engineering from the Department of Bioscience and Bioinformatics, Kyushu Institute of Technology, Japan. Post Ph.D., she worked with a transgenic mice model of Smith-Lemli-Opitz syndrome, which is an inborn error of cholesterol synthesis, at Children's Hospital Research Institute (CHORI), Oakland, California. Mahbuba has published several research articles including clinical and non-clinical research in high-impact factor journals. She also authored multiple review articles and book chapters in high-impact journals and with well-known publishers. She is also an editor of an eBook on cancer immunotherapy and an editor of a hard copy book on Metabolomics A Path Towards Personalized Medicine. She is also a special topic editor and guest editor in Frontiers in Genetics, Frontiers in Immunology, and in Journal of Microbiological Methods. At present, she is an Adjunct Assistant Professor at the Department of Biology, at McMaster University. She is investigating the role of global regulators in pathogenic and non-pathogenic microorganisms using systems biology approaches.
