Subburaman Mohan

Subburaman Mohan, PhD, is a Research Professor affiliated with multiple departments at Loma Linda University School of Medicine, including Orthopedic Surgery, Medicine, and the Biochemistry Division. His research focuses on bone biology, osteoclastogenesis, metabolic effects on skeletal systems, and cartilage degeneration. He holds a PhD from 1977, an MS from 1974, and a BSC from 1972.

• Education:
  • PhD – Awarded December 1, 1977
  • MS – Awarded January 1, 1974
  • BSC – Awarded January 1, 1972

His research interests span bone cell biology, osteoporosis, and the interplay between metabolic disorders and skeletal health. Recent studies include investigations into FAM98 proteins in osteoclastogenesis, LRRK1 signaling in osteoclasts, and high-fat diet impacts on bone metabolism.

Publications highlight work on bone resorption mechanisms, therapeutic interventions for skeletal disorders, and genetic factors influencing bone growth. His research employs mouse models and in vitro systems to explore cellular and molecular pathways.

Teaching includes supervising research projects in the Basic Sciences department (BCHM 697). His work contributes to understanding bone pathologies and developing targeted therapies.
