Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Mohammed S. Orloff's research focuses on public health, with a significant emphasis on respiratory diseases and the use of electronic cigarettes. His work has investigated the association between electronic cigarette use and conditions such as asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and asthma-COPD overlap syndrome, particularly among individuals who have never smoked traditional cigarettes. Orloff also studies the temporal dynamics of SARS-CoV-2 genome and the detection of variants of concern in wastewater, contributing to public health surveillance efforts related to infectious diseases.

Further research by Orloff examines factors associated with smokefree rules in the homes of specific demographic groups, such as Black/African American women smokers in rural communities. He has also explored genetic factors, including paternal genetic variants, and their potential link to the risk of certain congenital conditions like obstructive heart defects. With a substantial publication record of 132 articles and an h-index of 25, Orloff is recognized as a highly cited researcher. He leads a research group and collaborates with several colleagues at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences and the University of Arkansas at Little Rock.
