Md. Golam Sarowar Jahan, PhD
Bio
Dr. Jahan has been an Associate Professor in the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, University of Rajshahi. He received his Ph.D. from Yamaguchi University, Japan in 2017. He studied traction force and its regulation during cytokinesis in Dictyostelium cells under Prof. Dr. Shigehiko Yumura. His research area includes functional molecular cell biology, particularly the field of cell traction force – traction force and its regulation in dividing and migrating cells.
​
As a Postdoctoral Scientist at the Abigail Wexner Research Institute at the Nationwide Children's Hospital/The Ohio State University, he worked on the molecular mechanism of the G2/M metabolic checkpoint regulation in mammalian cancer cells.
Recently, he has started his new position as a Postdoctoral Scholar at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF). He will be working on the Sik3/Fam53b signaling in intestinal stem cells (ISC).
