Mohammed Ali
Associate Professor
Faculty, Global Health
Jointly Appointed, Epidemiology
I am a product of 4 continents (grew up in Africa; and have subsequently studied, worked, and lived in the Europe, Asia, and now North America). I obtained my medical degree in Cape Town, and subsequently studied at the University of Oxford obtaining master's training in cardiovascular medicine and a degree in global public health. I also completed my MBA at Emory in 2012.
I’ve been at Emory since 2008 and held a consulting/advisor role for the CDC's Division of Diabetes Translation since 2010. I spend my time thinking about diabetes and heart disease. Emory and Atlanta have been a tremendous fit for me - I have thoroughly enjoyed the spirit, ambition, and enthusiasm of our students, and the collegial atmosphere promoted by our faculty and my CDC friends.
