Gina Mohammed, PhD
Science & Research Director
Dr. Gina Mohammed is an international science consultant with over
25 years of expertise in research, applications, and commercialization of plant
physiological science. Her specialties include non-timber forest products, bioindicators of plant
health, remote sensing of vegetative condition, plant biotechnology & tissue culture, and botanical medicines. Gina
holds a PhD in plant physiology from Simon Fraser University in British Columbia. She has produced over
130 scientific publications, plus dozens of articles
for consumer magazines and newspapers.
Below is a history of Gina's project activities and experience (some of it prior to the founding of
P&M Technologies), along with some of her clients, collaborators, and employers.
