Dr. Mohamed Belhocine

Mohamed is an Assistant Professor of Bioinformatics and Genomics at the Department of Molecular Medicine, Arabian Gulf University. He also develops and oversees research training programs in several Algerian universities. His research focuses on large-scale genomic approaches to uncover genetic and epigenetic mechanisms driving both normal and pathological cell development. He has identified dysregulated long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) in leukemia and studied their roles in cancer progression. Mohamed’s work also includes evaluating enhancer activity in various cellular contexts and exploring histone modification dynamics during early T cell development. His projects were conducted in collaboration with the European Blueprint consortium. In addition to his experimental and computational biology expertise, including transcriptome analysis, ChIP-Seq, and RNA sequencing, Mohamed has authored several high-impact articles. He has also collaborated extensively with renowned research institutes such as TAGC and Necker Institute, contributing significantly to large-scale genomic projects and advancing cancer research.
