Prof. Khaled Masmoudi is a Plant Molecular Biologist. Plant Biotechnologist and Assistant Dean for research and graduate studies at UAEU. Dr. Masmoudi completed his PhD from the University Pierre & Marie Curie, Paris 6, France in 1993. His research is focused on studying the molecular mechanisms underlying plant responses to harsh environments such as salinity, drought and extreme temperatures. He has been able to take forward his previous research to the era of genomics, metagenomics, transcriptomics and functional genomics. Actually, he’s extensively engaged in studying the impact of the rhizosphere microbiota on root system development and tolerance to environmental constraints in cereals and date palm. He developed genomic approaches to discover novel components of salinity tolerance in arid land plants and date palm.
