College of Medicine at Prince Sattam Bin Abdulaziz University | Saudi Arabia

Assist. Prof. Dr. Imran Mohammad is an accomplished microbiology researcher with a strong record of scientific contributions across bacteriology, microbial ecology, natural product research, and medical microbiology. His research spans the discovery of vitamin B12-producing Pseudomonas species, evaluation of marine invertebrate compounds against multidrug-resistant pathogens, and extensive investigations into antibacterial, antibiofilm, and antioxidant activities of medicinal plant extracts, including Salvadora persica, Zingiber officinale, Mukia maderaspatana, Pongamia pinnata, and Tamarindus indica. He has also contributed systematic reviews on the modern medical applications of ginger and the neuroprotective potential of probiotic strains such as Lactobacillus acidophilus. His studies further explore biomarkers like D-Dimer in vaccinated cardiovascular patients during COVID-19, the role of neem as a sustainable biopesticide, and microbial responses under environmental stressors related to food safety. In medical education research, he has assessed the impact of healthcare simulation on practical training in male catheterization procedures. His latest work examines the intersection of emerging pandemics such as Mpox and COVID-19. In addition to publishing widely in peer-reviewed journals, he actively contributes to the scientific community through extensive article review activities across microbiology, epidemiology, sustainability, antioxidants, and clinical research, demonstrating his commitment to advancing global scientific knowledge.
