VICTORIA, BRITISH COLUMBIA, CANADA, June 12, 2023 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Dr. Aditya Mojumdar, PhD, has been included in Marquis Who's Who. As in all Marquis Who's Who biographical volumes, individuals profiled are selected on the basis of current reference value. Factors such as position, noteworthy accomplishments, visibility, and prominence in a field are all taken into account during the selection process.
Leveraging more than a decade of excellence in research in molecular biology, protein biochemistry, yeast biology and biotechnology, Dr. Mojumdar has earned distinction as a university lecturer and staff scientist with the University of Victoria in British Columbia, Canada. Since 2022, he has focused his efforts on conducting research and teaching courses on the interplay between aging and genomic instability, which he identifies as the two hallmarks of cancer.
Prior to his current role, Dr. Mojumdar began his career as a research assistant in Elettra Sincrotrone Trieste in Italy in 2011 and was a postdoctoral fellow, studying DNA replication starting in 2015. Following this time, he became a postdoctoral researcher with the University of Calgary in Canada in 2018 where he engaged with DNA repair mechanisms.
Over the course of his career, Dr. Mojumdar has contributed a wealth of research to his field, including serving as the first author on "Assaying the Activity of Helicases: An Overview," featured in Helicases from all Domains of Life in 2018, and for "Nej1 Interacts with Mre11 to Regulate Tethering and Dna2 Binding at DNA Double-Strand Breaks," which published in the journal Cell Reports in 2019. He was also the second author on "Structural and biochemical characterization of an RNA/DNA binding motif in the N-terminal domain of RecQ4 helicases" published in Nature Journal in 2016 and on "Modeling cancer genomic data in yeast reveals selection against ATM function during tumorigenesis" for PLoS Genetics in 2020. He also recently published research in the Journal of Molecular Biology "Changes in DNA double-strand break repair during aging correlate with an increase in genomic mutations" that focuses on the interplay between aging and genomic instability as well as how these increase the mutational burden in cells, leading to cancer.
Prior to embarking on his professional journey, Dr. Mojumdar earned a bachelor's degree in biotechnology while living in India in 2006. Following this achievement, he attained a Master of Science in applied biotechnology from Uppsala University in Sweden in 2010. He subsequently gained a Doctor of Philosophy in structural biology from L'Università degli Studi di Trieste in Italy in 2015. Within the coming years, Dr. Mojumdar intends to remain within academia, continuing his contributions to the betterment of society while increasing his knowledge of DNA repair.
