Muhammad Morshed is a clinical microbiologist and the program head of zoonotic diseases and emerging pathogens at the BC Centre for Disease Control Public Health Laboratory,[1] and a clinical professor in the Department of Pathology & Laboratory Medicine at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, British Columbia Canada.[2]
Morshed received his PhD from the Yamaguchi University School of Medicine in 1994, in Japan, followed by specialty training at the Research Institute of Tuberculosis in Tokyo and at the College of Natural Resources, University of California, Berkeley. His research focuses on modern diagnosis, the discovery of novel pathogens and the molecular epidemiology of zoonotic and emerging pathogens, particularly Borrelia burgdorferi, Treponema pallidum and Helicobacter pylori.
Morshed received a Distinguished Microbiologist Service Award from the Canadian College of Microbiologists in 2019,[3] and was named a winner in the Royal Bank of Canada's Top 25 Immigrant Awards in 2017.[4][5] More recently, Morshed was elected as an Expatriate Fellow by the Bangladesh Academy of Sciences (BAS) in 2020.[6]
Morshed is internationally and nationally known for his work in Syphilis, Lyme disease and SARS-CoV-2. Over the course of his career, he has published over 150 peer-reviewed scientific publications, and 3 book chapters. Notably, he has examined the epidemiology of Lyme disease in British Columbia and the pitfalls of current diagnostics[7] and helped conduct tick surveillance in BC through 2002-2019 to monitor long term trends in tick distribution and Lyme disease caused by Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato (s.l.) complex.[8] Recently, Morshed led a study to find new methods to detect syphilis using reverse algorithm and PCR detection, which may help uncover missed cases.[9]
