Md Golam Sarowar Jahan, PhD

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. 

​

He is currently a postdoctoral researcher at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), where he leads and contributes to multiple research projects. These include: (1) investigating quasi-neoplastic tendencies of keloid, (2) identifying key downstream pathways driving inflammation and angiogenesis in keloid disease, and (3) conducting proteomic identification of C. acnes ligands involved in inflammation.

​

During his postdoctoral fellowship at the Abigail Wexner Research Institute at Nationwide Children's Hospital /The Ohio State University, he explored the molecular mechanisms governing G2/M metabolic checkpoint regulation in mammalian cancer cells. Subsequently, as a postdoctoral scientist at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF), he investigated the role of the Sik3/Fam53b signaling pathway in regulating intestinal stem cells (ISCs) biology.
