Gunjan, Akash - Florida State University - Department of Biomedical Sciences

个人简介

After finishing college in India, Dr. Gunjan moved to the United States to obtain his Ph.D. degree in biochemistry at the University of Mississippi Medical Center. He then moved to London, England, to carry out his post-doctoral research work at Cancer Research UK. Dr. Gunjan has around 20 years of experience in the field of chromatin structure and function and about 15 years of experience in the area of DNA damage and repair. He joined the faculty of the Department of Biomedical Sciences at the Florida State University College of Medicine as an Assistant Professor in March 2005. He was promoted to the rank of Associate Professor in August 2013.
