Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Mohammed S. Orloff is an Associate Professor in the Department of Epidemiology at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences. His research group focuses on public health issues, including the respiratory health impacts of electronic cigarette use, particularly among individuals who have never smoked conventional cigarettes. Dr. Orloff has also investigated the association of electronic cigarette use with conditions such as asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and asthma-COPD overlap syndrome.

Further research by Dr. Orloff includes the temporal dynamics of SARS-CoV-2 genome and the detection of variants of concern in wastewater. He has also examined factors associated with smokefree home rules among Black/African American women smokers in rural communities and explored the role of paternal genetic variants in the risk of obstructive heart defects. His work has contributed to understanding changes in capacity building and sustained implementation among coalitions addressing racial/ethnic COVID-19 disparities.

With a career marked by extensive publication, Dr. Orloff has an h-index of 25 and over 3,700 citations across more than 100 publications. He frequently collaborates with researchers at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, including Horacio Gómez-Acevedo, David W.
