Most recently he served as assistant professor in Radical & Radiation Biology Program, the Department of Radiation Oncology, and the College of Medicine at the University of Iowa.
Dr. Goswami’s research interests include studying the role intracellular redox-state plays in regulating the mammalian cell cycle, and establishing a link between reactive oxygen species (ROS)-signaling and other aspects of intracellular signaling networks during normal cellular proliferation and in response to oxidative stress.
Dr. Goswami is a scientific reviewer for a number of foundations and programs, including: the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation; the Radiological Society of North America Research & Education Foundation; National Institutes of Health (NIH) Study Section; Department of Defense Breast Cancer Program; United States Israel Binational Science Foundation; the Department of Energy; and NASA Radiation Health Panels.
His awards and honors include: National Merit Scholarship, India; the Jawherlal Nehru Memorial Prize; and the Best Presentation Certificate, International Conference on Frontiers in Biotechnology.
