Her research focuses on genetics and molecular medicine, particularly concerning mitochondrial DNA, microRNAs, and various diseases such as multiple sclerosis, type 2 diabetes mellitus, and coronary artery disease.Research Contributions
Ghada Al-Kafaji has made significant contributions to the field of genetics and molecular medicine. Her research has identified functionally deleterious mutations in the mitochondrial genome of patients with multiple sclerosis and explored the use of mitochondrial DNA as a non-invasive biomarker for various diseases. She has also investigated the role of microRNAs as potential biomarkers for diseases including coronary artery disease, prostate cancer, and sepsis. Her work extends to the study of transcriptomic analysis to identify markers for vaso-occlusive crises in sickle cell disease and the expression of beta-defensin-3 in sepsis patients.Aliases
