Abstract
Professor Mohammad Hashemi was a clinical biochemist and cancer genetic scientist. He has been chair and head of Department of Clinical Biochemistry at Zahedan University of Medical Sciences, Zahedan, Iran. He has played an important role in the improvement of understanding of genetics of disease in southeast Iran. He was also a part of international team for the discovery of the role of calprotectin (S100A8/A9) in cancer biology via regulation of cell fate in tumor cells. He had over 300 peer-reviewed scientific publications and trained significant numbers of high quality personals (>40) in the field of biomedical sciences. His sudden death in 2019 shocked national and international scientific society but his scientific legacy will remain alive forever.
Mohammad Hashemi教授是一位临床生物化学家和癌症基因科学家。他曾任伊朗扎黑丹医学科学大学临床生物化学系主任。他在提高对伊朗东南部疾病遗传学的理解方面发挥了重要作用。他也是发现钙保护蛋白(S100A8/A9)通过调节肿瘤细胞的细胞命运在癌症生物学中的作用的国际团队的一员。他拥有300多份同行评审的科学出版物,并在生物医学领域培训了大量高素质的人才(>40人)。他于2019年突然去世,震惊了国家和国际科学社会,但他的科学遗产将永远存在。
