Graduate Student
Rahagir Salekeen (he/him) is currently pursuing a Ph.D. in Biochemistry, Molecular Biology, and Biophysics – and working as a graduate research assistant at the Niedernhofer lab. He previously completed his B.Sc. in Biotechnology from Khulna University, Bangladesh where he focused on lipid oxidation pathways in coronary inflammation and atherosclerosis. His current research interests revolve around identifying novel molecular events driving DNA damage response and senescence in aging-associated decline of organ function and metabolism. Outside of the lab, Rahagir enjoys open-world video games, speaking with family back home, and long naps over the weekends.
