Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Sayem Miah's research focuses on understanding the molecular mechanisms underlying cancer, particularly breast cancer. His work investigates how gene expression is regulated during tumorigenesis and metastasis, with an emphasis on signaling pathways and chromatin remodeling. Miah has explored the role of specific proteins and complexes, such as BRMS1 and the Sin3/HDAC complex, in cancer progression and has identified potential therapeutic targets.

His publications include studies on multi-omics data integration to identify regulatory features of triple-negative breast cancer, the impact of oncogenic signaling on chromatin, and the perturbation of protein interactomes to understand metastasis. Miah also investigates novel drug candidates, such as pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidine derivatives as BRK/PTK6 inhibitors, and the effects of existing drugs like desloratadine on cancer cell apoptosis. His research is supported by his h-index of 15 and 34 total publications, with 516 citations.
