Sayeed ur Rehman A. Kalam Department of Biochemistry School of Chemical and Life Sciences, Jamia Hamdard University, New Delhi, India.Dr. Sayeed ur Rehman is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Biochemistry, School of Chemical and Life Sciences, Jamia Hamdard, New Delhi, India. Dr. Rehman and his team are working to decipher the role of alternative splicing in health and disease. They are currently involved in the identification and characterization of alternatively spliced novel isoforms of human genes linked to cancer, obesity and diabetes, neurodegenerative disorders and genes linked to host-pathogen interactions. Dr. Rehman has also worked as Leibniz-DAAD Fellow at the German Diabetes Centre, Dusseldorf, Germany. He has around 8 years of teaching and research experience and has published around 45 research and review articles in the field of study.
