Gus,Wright,Research Scientist,"My career aspirations are to conduct multidisciplinary collaborative research in cancer biology, nutrition, immunology, and infectious disease mechanisms. Currently, I am the director of the Texas A&M Flow Cytometry Facility and I use my expertise in flow cytometry, imaging flow cytometry and microscopy to assist experimenters with experimental design and how to use the instruments properly to obtain quality data and to analyze and interpret the data that are essential for high impact journals and competitive extramural grants. As director of the Flow Cytometry Facility, I am involved in many collaborative ventures in cancer biology, cancer immunology, immunology, nutrition, infectious disease and many other areas in health and agriculture. I have served as Director of the FCF for the past 4 years and managed the FCF 5 years prior to becoming the director. I have managed major equipment for 15 years combined at Vanderbilt and Texas A&M Universities. I have extensive experience in flow cytometry, imaging flow cytometry and microscopy and have taken numerous courses in microscopy and flow cytometry. Additionally, I have taught lectures in the theory, use and application of flow cytometry and microscopy. As Director, I have improved the Texas A&M Flow Core Facility by orchestrating a facility that provides the highest quality customer service and subsequent data for flow cytometry and image cytometry users, resulting in enhanced multidisciplinary collaborative research and extramural funding at Texas A&M University.",Research Scientist,Veterinary Pathobiology,https://scholars.library.tamu.edu/vivo/display/n04557db9

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

Narayan,Paul,"Section Head, Bacteriology and Mycology","Narayan Paul is a veterinary clinical microbiologist. He received his DVM from the University of Chittagong, Bangladesh in 2005 and a Master's of Science in microbiology (virology) from Bangladesh Agriculture University in 2006. Soon after graduation, he worked as a research associate at a social enterprise called Dnet to develop web-based animal disease information that allowed farmers to consult with local veterinarians, in addition to delivering telemedicine services to clients. Later, he worked at the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) of the United Nations as a veterinarian in a Highly Pathogenic Influenza Virus (H5N1) surveillance program. Narayan completed his Ph.D. in microbiology in 2013 from the University of Copenhagen, Denmark. There, his research focused on antibiotic susceptibility patterns and molecular strain typing of Staphylococcus pseudintermedius isolates from dogs and humans and the extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL) production in E. coli. That same year, Narayan joined at the Washington State University as a post-doctoral fellow and studied molecular epidemiology of antimicrobial resistance, bacterial pathogenesis, and food-safety utilizing molecular biology tools and next-generation sequencing technology. Since April 2019, Narayan has been working as the Bacteriology and Mycology Section head at the Texas A&M Veterinary Medical Diagnostic Laboratory (TVMDL), College Station, TX, where he leads a team of 12 members, and oversees day-to-day activities of the section including diagnostic consultation, new diagnostic test development, section budget, staff training and quality assurance. Narayan became a Diplomate of the American College of Veterinary Microbiologists with Bacteriology specialty in 2020. Narayan serves as a committee member of the microbiology residency program at TVMDL, and a board of governor member of the American College of Veterinary Microbiologists.
