Mohan's research background is in genetics and epidemiology, which he brings together to bridge the gap between ‘omic’ discovery and public health through the development, refinement, and innovative application of analytical methods of mapping metabolic risk genes. He aims to bring about lasting changes in health and wellness in underrepresented communities using three interconnected elements that he believes are critical in any research: whānau ora (healthy families), wai ora (healthy environments) and mauri ora (healthy individuals).
