Biography

Mohsan Saeed is an Associate Professor at Boston University in the Chobanian & Avedisian School of Medicine, specializing in Biochemistry and Cell Biology. He holds a PhD from the University of Tokyo, a DVM from the University of Agriculture Faisalabad, and an MPhil from Quaid-i-Azam University. His research focuses on the role of viral proteins, particularly proteases, in remodeling host cells to create a favorable environment for virus replication. Utilizing modern systems biology methods, Saeed's laboratory investigates viral-host interfaces and employs classical molecular biology and biochemistry techniques to gain insights into the mechanisms of viral replication. His work aims to identify and characterize host proteins cleaved by viral proteases and to assess the functional significance of these cleavages in the virus life cycle. Saeed also studies clinically important enteroviruses and aims to provide novel insights into antiviral defenses and disease mechanisms. His contributions are expected to advance understanding in cell biology and improve therapeutic strategies against viral infections.
