Bio
Dr. M'Koma, is a Tenured Full Professor of Surgery, Surgical Sciences, Pathology, and Cancer Biology and Principal Investigator, at Meharry Medical College, Department of Biochemistry, Cancer Biology, Neuroscience, and Pharmacology and Adjunct Associate Professor of Surgery at Vanderbilt University, Division of General Surgery, Colon, and Rectal Surgery in Nashville, TN, United States, accomplished and highly committed to the education, training, research, and treatment of digestive system diseases and disorders. Dr. M'Koma received medical training initiated and completed his M.D. degree at Kharkiv Medical Institute, Ukraine. He did his postgraduate and surgical residency program at the Karolinska University Hospital, Huddinge, Stockholm, Sweden. He was Board Certified in General Surgery (The Swedish Board of Health and Welfare). Dr. M'Koma perused a Licentiate of Medical Sciences degree and a Ph.D. in Surgery at Karolinska Nobel Institute Stockholm, Sweden. He was employed by the Large Stockholm Health Care Services (Stockholm Läns Landsting, i.e., Huddinge, Nacka, Stockholm South General, and Sabbatsberg Hospitals) until 2003.
Dr. M'Koma moved to the United States to further pursue academic endeavors. He was able to work at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota as a Clinical Research Fellow. Further, Dr. M'Koma was recruited as a Clinical Research Fellow in Urologic Surgery and then accepted a position as Assistant Professor in the Department of General Surgery, Section of Surgical Sciences at Vanderbilt University Medical Center through 2010. Dr. M'Koma’s research gravitates to the gastrointestinal disease on surgical management of ulcerative colitis and Familial adenomatosis polyposis, specifically the restorative physiology of intestinal continuity after the pouch operation, the restorative proctocolectomy and ileal pouch anal-anastomosis, and metabolic changes. Further, his research efforts are towards developing strategic methodologies based on MALDI MS, proteomics, and recombinant single-chain antibodies to identify molecular biometric fingerprints that can assist clinicians in managing IBD in clinical diagnostic settings.
Dr. M'Koma joined Meharry-Vanderbilt Alliance in 2010 and has established research collaborations and bridged the gap between multiple research groups within the institutions. As the PI, he has conducted translational and transformational research for noninvasive diagnostics of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Timely & accurate diagnosis is central to providing optimal surgical care. This requires minimizing any ambiguity and/or delay in diagnosis to give the patient the best postoperative outcome. Current methods for diagnosing these diseases are painstakingly inaccurate, confounding the treatment regimens. He discovered a signature biomarker that facilitates the ASSURED instant diagnosis of IBD subtypes. This discovery may also shed light on drug development targets for the disease toward a clinical and pharmaceutical solution in the field, which has yet to be explored and validated. His findings are protected by two U.S. Patents, i.e., No. 11427852, and No. 16622259, licensed exclusively to M'Koma, and held by the Assignee, Meharry Medical College.
Furthermore, M'Koma’s research focuses on colitis-associated colorectal cancer, supported by the Vanderbilt-Ingram Cancer Center GI SPORE (P50CA23666733). He also received Project Grants from the American Society of Colon and Rectal Surgeons from 2007-2010 and NIH Grants from 2010-2015 and continued onto 2017. He has remained continuously active in IBD research, served on nine DOD & NIH study sections since 2017, and has presented at national and international scientific meetings. He is an active member of thirty-seven scientific biomedical journal editorial boards. Presently, is the Guest Editor of three Special Issues for the Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI) Journals, focused on IBD diagnostics and Surgical and Pharmaceutical management (ISSN 1648-9144). Dr. M'Koma is an Affiliated Scientist/Scientific Investigator for the American Society of Colon & Rectal Surgeons and the American Gastroenterological Association. He is also a member of the Vanderbilt Digestive Disease Research Center, Vanderbilt Colorectal Research Center, Vanderbilt-Ingram Cancer Center, and the Meharry-Vanderbilt-Tennessee State University Cancer Partnership Consortium.
In summary, M'Koma’s scientific achievements, scholarship, performance as a teacher/mentor, and commitment to service to the scientific community are self-evident. His research is both nationally and internationally recognized. His internship, residency, doctoral, post-doctoral, and fellowship training, bridge the gap between basic, translational and clinical trial scientists and clinicians.
