Biography

Ashkan Golshani is a professor in the Department of Biology at Carleton University. His research primarily focuses on functional genomics, proteomics, molecular biology, and molecular genetics, with particular emphasis on microbial biology. His work explores the identification of novel gene and protein functions in model microbial organisms such as yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) and E. coli. He investigates the intricacies of protein synthesis and DNA damage repair, which have crucial implications for understanding cancer progression. Golshani employs advanced molecular biology techniques alongside computational approaches to design peptides that can interfere with protein-protein interactions (PPIs) in order to develop novel therapeutic strategies. He has contributed to various significant publications elucidating the biological actions of compounds and the underlying molecular mechanisms governing cellular responses. His dedication to research aims to lay the groundwork for future diagnostic and treatment modalities targeting critical biological pathways.
