Masood Kamali-Moghaddam's Biography

Masood Kamali-Moghaddam, Associated Professor, Uppsala University

Masood Kamali-Moghaddam received his PhD in Pharmaceutical Microbiology at Dept. of Pharmaceutical Biosciences at Uppsala University where he studied bacterial genetics and the importance of transposition and site-specific recombination in dissemination of antibiotic resistance. He held a post-doctoral position at Center for Molecular Genetics at the University of California, San Diego, where he studied transcription initiation and regulation. He held a second post-doctoral position at Dept. Of Genetics and Pathology/ Div. of Molecular Medicine at Uppsala University. Here he worked with development and application of sensitive molecular tools for proteome analyses. Currently, he works as senior scientist at same department and continues working on development of highly sensitive molecular tools for search for biomarkers and early diagnostics, with focus on neurodegenerative diseases and cancer. Furthermore, he is currently responsible for two facilities at Swedish SciLifeLab for high throughput protein analysis for screening of biomarkers, and for in situ protein analysis.
