After earning his doctoral degree in 2016, Dr. Mohamed pursued a postdoctoral fellowship in Dr. Paulo Rodriguez’s lab at Moffitt Cancer Center where he focused on understanding the mechanisms that govern the suppressive phenotype of tumor associated myelopoiesis and developing therapeutic interventions to promote an effective antitumor immunity.
