معرفی
Mohsen Hooshyar is a Lecturer in the Department of Biology at Texas A&M University, joining in 2024. He holds a B.Sc. from Texas Southern University (2006) and a Ph.D. from Carleton University, Canada (2015). His research focuses on molecular mechanisms of DNA repair pathways, viral-based therapeutic strategies, and computational approaches in biology. He teaches BIOL 401 Critical Writing in Biology, emphasizing scientific communication and analytical skills.
Research interests include yeast genetics, SARS-CoV-2 peptide design, cancer immunotherapy via oncolytic viruses, and protein engineering. His work bridges bioinformatics with experimental biology, particularly in understanding DNA repair deficiencies and developing synthetic biological tools. Recent studies explore dual-virus systems for T-cell engager therapies and computational methods for peptide discovery.
Publications span journals like Nature Communications, Gene, and Nucleic Acids Research, reflecting interdisciplinary collaborations in molecular biology and immunology. No specific awards are listed, though his work contributes to advancing synthetic biology and genetic repair mechanisms.
Teaching emphasizes critical thinking through writing, while research involves lab teams focusing on genetic mutagenesis and viral vector applications. No lab/team affiliations are explicitly stated in the text.
