Dr Mahmood’s main research focus is the study of oral precancer progression to malignancy. She is a key member of the research group leading innovation in oral, head and neck cancer research.

Her PhD, supported by a prestigious NIHR Doctoral Fellowship (worth £353K) developed novel digital, computational and quantitative models for early oral cancer risk prediction (supervisors Professor Syed Ali Khurram, University of 91ֱ�� and ).

She is currently exploring novel digital and spatial biomarkers in oral precancers using state-of-the-art approaches, including single-cell analysis and multiplex imaging.
