Bassem M. Mohammed, BPharm, Ph.D. is a staff scientist in Dr. Enrico Di Cera’s lab at Saint Louis University School of Medicine. He received his Pharmacy Degree from Cairo University, Egypt where he developed his first interest in the hemostasis and thrombosis research field. He got his PhD training in the lab of Dr. Donald Brophy at Virginia Commonwealth University where he studied patients’ hemostatic responses to factor replacement therapy in hemophilia and post-trauma coagulopathies. He then trained in the lab of Dr. Dave Gailani at Vanderbilt where he studied the structure and function of contact activation proteins. He then joined the lab of Dr. Ali Ellebedy at Washington university briefly as a visiting scientist out of interest in bridging immunology and coagulation research. There, he contributed to making therapeutic antibodies to COVID-19 and FLU and studied B cell immunology. At SLU, his work involves cryogenic electron microscopy (cryo-Em) studies of Factor V, Factor V short, and other proteins of the common pathway of coagulation.
