- Associate Professor of Pharmaceutical Sciences
Bio
Prior to joining NEOMED, I was an Assistant Professor at the Cleveland Clinic Lerner College of Medicine and a staff member (equivalent to a professor at a hospital setting) at the Department of Hepatology, Cleveland Clinic, Cleveland, OH. In 2015, I joined the Department of Pharmaceutical Sciences in the College of Pharmacy as an Assistant Professor and a founding Director of the Mass Spectrometry Core at NEOMED. I have been actively involved in services at local, national, and international levels. My research is funded by the NIH, AHA, ADA, and industrial grants. The results of our research have been published in the Journals of Molecular Cellular Proteomics, Proteomics Research, Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism, etc.
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.
