Biography

Dr. Mohamed is a Professor of Molecular Sciences and Applied Entomology at the Department of Entomology, Faculty of Science, Cairo University, Egypt. He is also a Research Associate at the American Museum of Natural History (AMNH), New York, and a Research Fellow at the King Saud Museum of Arthropods (KSMA), Saudi Arabia. He is an elected Fellow of the Royal Entomological Society of London (FRES). His research broadly explores the molecular and physiological mechanisms underlying insect biology, with particular emphasis on host defense systems, stress physiology, and hormonal regulation. He investigates insect immunity and antimicrobial strategies, environmental adaptations and stress responses, endocrine and reproductive biology, circadian rhythms, neuroendocrine signaling, and digestive physiology—particularly in blood-feeding arthropods. His work also encompasses the biochemical and molecular interactions between insects and insecticides, contributing to the development of more targeted and sustainable pest control approaches. In addition to his core research, Dr. Mohamed is an amateur systematist with a special interest in ant taxonomy and invasion biology. He is actively involved in collaborative research with scientists from around the world, including China, the Czech Republic, France, Italy, India, Japan, and the United States, contributing to a wide range of international entomological initiatives.
