Research Focus

Dr. Mhanni’s clinical and research career is centered on improving diagnosis, management, and longterm outcomes for individuals affected by inborn errors of metabolism. His research focuses on translational and clinical studies addressing emerging therapies for metabolic diseases, including enzyme replacement, substrate reduction, and other treatment modalities. Through participation in international clinical trials and collaborative networks, he contributes to advancing evidence-based treatment approaches for rare inherited metabolic conditions.

In addition to his clinical research, Dr. Mhanni’s interests extend to understanding the role of epigenetic mechanisms in human disease. His work explores how environmental and metabolic factors influence gene expression and phenotype, with implications for both rare and common disorders.
