Професионална автобиография:

Йордан Ходжев е главен асистент и доктор по микробиология в Нов български университет и Националния център по заразни и паразитни болести в София, България, с изследователски фокус върху микробиома при белодробна саркоидоза. Той допринася за проучванията на микробното разнообразие в екстремни среди и скрининга на патогени при прилепи. Работата му обхваща микробиология и физиология, с допълнителен акцент върху научното образование, особено в областта на основната биология, микробната генетика и рекомбинантните ДНК техники.
