Mohammad,Khattab,Assistant Research Scientist,"Mohammad earned his BVSc from Cairo University, Egypt, and started his career as an Instructor in Veterinary Internal Medicine. He then received his MVSc in Large Animal Internal Medicine and his PhD in Small Animal Internal Medicine from the same University, where he served as Assistant Professor.
Mohammad is leading the Metabolomics Lab at the Gastrointestinal Laboratory in the Department of Small Animal Clinical Sciences, College of Veterinary Medicine & Biomedical Sciences at Texas A&M University.
At Texas A&M, Mohammad started research on the gut microbiome and microbial therapy with an emphasis on the immunological and metabolic interactions between host and gut microbiota. He has developed state-of-the-art flow cytometry protocols for the identification of fecal microbiota and estimation of IgA coated microbiota, as well as a novel protocol for discriminating microbiota based on viability.
I'm running research projects to measure different microbiota-related metabolites and studying their correlations with specific gut microbiota. Like Short Chain Fatty Acids (SCFA), targeted Bile Acids, Sterols, Fatty Acids, MMA, NMH and other targeted and non-targeted metabolites. We are investigating these metabolites in fecal samples, urine, and serum of dogs and cats, in addition to in-vitro experiments and models from gnotobiotic mice and other biological samples.",Assistant Research Scientist,Small Animal Clinical Sciences,https://scholars.library.tamu.edu/vivo/display/n0a16e1d7

Joerg,Steiner,Professor,"My veterinary career has mainly focused on two aspects, patient care and clinically-relevant research. As a veterinary clinician and clinical teacher I am exposed to a wide variety of canine and feline patients with complex medical conditions. These patients serve as a constant source of new clinical problems that beckon to be studied further. Sometimes these studies are merely clinical, relating to characterization of an uncommon condition, diagnosis of a difficult-to-diagnose condition, or a novel therapeutic approach to a well-described condition. In other instances studies that are spurred by clinical cases are more basic-science based, utilizing state-of-the-art technologies to further evaluate the etiology or pathogenesis of a disease. In some instances, studies may provide comparative aspects related to experimental animals, such as rodents or primates, or even to human patients with similar conditions. I believe that my role as a mentor can be unique in that I can help graduate students bridge the gap between science and clinical aspects and between veterinary and human medical interests - giving us further opportunities to advance the concept of one-health.","Professor||Director, Gastrointestinal Laboratory",School of Veterinary Medicine and Biomedical Sciences||Small Animal Clinical Sciences,https://scholars.library.tamu.edu/vivo/display/nf4de66a0
