Academic Title(s)

  • Associate Professor of Pharmaceutical Sciences

Bio

Before joining NEOMED, I held the position of assistant professor at the Cleveland Clinic Lerner College of Medicine and was a staff member (equivalent to a hospital setting professor) within the Department of Hepatology at Cleveland Clinic in Cleveland, Ohio. In 2015, I became an assistant professor in the Department of Pharmaceutical Sciences within the College of Pharmacy and a founding director of the Mass Spectrometry Core at NEOMED.

I have actively engaged in service at local, national and international levels. Funding for my research has been provided by the NIH, AHA, ADA and industrial grants. The findings of our research have been published in such journals as the Journals of Molecular Cellular Proteomics, Proteomics Research and Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism.

Area of Expertise/Research Interests

Our group applies high-throughput unbiased metabolomics and proteomics approaches to understand the pathogenesis of obesity-associated metabolic diseases, including nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and diabetes, and their cardiovascular complications. We helped to develop the heavy water-based metabolic labeling approach for global proteome dynamics studies, which are currently extensively used by multiple research labs around the world.

Educational Background

Dr. Kasumov is a faculty member at NEOMED, College of Pharmacy, Department of Pharmaceutical Sciences.

Dr. Kasumov earned his Ph.D. in Organic Chemistry from Moscow State University in Russia. He was trained in intermediary metabolism and stable isotope-based metabolomics and proteomics studies at Case Western Reserve University.
