Biography

Ashkan Golshani is a professor in the Institute of Biochemistry at Carleton University. His research primarily focuses on functional genomics, proteomics, molecular biology, and molecular genetics. He is interested in the identification of novel gene and protein functions in model microbial organisms such as yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) and E. coli. Golshani studies the control of translation and DNA damage repair, which has crucial implications for human health, particularly in the progression and onset of cancer. His work employs advanced molecular biology and genetics techniques, with a keen interest in chemical-genomics and natural bioactive compounds. By using systematic approaches, he investigates the biological implications at the molecular level of compounds found in nature. Additionally, Golshani is actively involved in computational predictions and the design of protein-protein interactions (PPIs) for drug development and diagnostic applications.
