Meet Our Speakers
Prof. Dr. Mohamed A. Farag
Department of Pharmacognosy, College of Pharmacy, Cairo University, Egypt;
Short bio: Specializing in metabolomics, natural products chemistry, and plant biochemistry, Mohamed A. Farag completed his PhD at Texas Tech University, USA, in 2003. In 2005, after spending time as a postdoctoral fellow at The Samuel Noble Foundation, USA, and the James Graham Brown Cancer Center, USA, he became assistant professor in 2005 at the Faculty of Pharmacy, Cairo University, Egypt.
Since 2009, Dr Farag has been working as a part time visiting professor at the Technical University of Munich, Germany, to participate in teaching plant metabolomics and chemomterics modelling for master students, and in 2009–2010 he held the Alexander von Humboldt fellowship at the Leibniz Institute for Plant Biochemistry, Germany. Dr Farag now works full time as a professor at the Pharmacognosy Department within the Faculty of Pharmacy, Cairo University where his research work focuses primarily around applying innovative biochemical technologies (metabolomics) to help answer complex biological questions in medicine, herbal drugs analysis and agriculture.

On Wednesday, 18 January 2023, MDPI and the Journal Foods organized the 3rd Webinar of the Foods series, entitled “Recent Trends and Applications of Metabolomics in Food Analysis, Process Monitoring, and Gut Interaction”. This online seminar was delivered by three eminent researchers in the field of metabolomics, mostly in context of drug discovery and food analysis. The webinar was chaired by Prof. Mohamed Farag, Cairo University, Egypt and talks were provided by Prof. Dr. Milen I. Georgiev, Institute of Microbiology, Bulgarian Academy of Sciences, Bulgaria, and Dr. Ahmed Mediani, Institute of Systems Biology (INBIOSIS), Selangor, Malaysia. Speaker presentations were followed by a Q&A session moderated by the chair.
The webinar was offered via Zoom and required registration to attend. The full recording can be found below. To stay updated on the next webinars Foods, be sure to sign up for our newsletter by clicking on “Subscribe” at the top of the page.
