Dr. Hossain Uddin Shekhar

 

Education:

Ph.D. (2003) Laboratory of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology), Tokyo Metropolitan University, Tokyo(Japan): A novel affinity tag of 135 bp was designed for proteomic characterization of functional protein complex. It was tagged with cDNAs of TrkA and its downstream kinases eg. Ras, Raf 1 etc.and  expressed in different mammalian and yeast cell line. Later functional protein complexes were purified from those cell line to identify novel interacting signaling proteins by peptide mass finger printing. Through this work we propose a network of signaling proteins down stream from TrkA .

M.Sc.(1991) (Department of Biochemistry), University of Dhaka, Dhaka (Bangladesh)

Lytic and lysogenic phages for Shigella were investigated with special attention to transducing phages.

B.Sc. (Honors) (1989) (Department of Biochemistry), University of Dhaka (Bangladesh)

Present Position :

Professor and Student Advisor, Department of Biochemistry & Molecular Biology .University of Dhaka, Dhaka –1000, Bangladesh.
