Muhammad Taha

Taha received his bachelor's degree in Biology from Lahore University of Management Sciences, Lahore, Pakistan. Taha served as a Dartmouth graduate council representative from 2019-2020. As a member of the Ahmed lab in our Molecular & Systems Biology program, he focuses on understanding the mechanisms that control Wnt signal transduction, a pathway that is critical for the development of all animals and for stem cell maintenance in adult organs. Deregulation of Wnt signaling is associated with many human diseases, including nearly all colorectal cancers. He works to identify new components of the pathway which could be used as potential drug targets against the colorectal cancer. Outside lab, Taha likes to play soccer, frisbee, chess and spend time on his Playstation.
