Iswar Hariharan

Iswar Hariharan is a Research Professor in the Department of BIO at the University of California, Berkeley. His research focuses on the mechanisms that regulate growth at the individual cell and organismal levels, particularly during development and tissue regeneration. Using genetic studies in Drosophila melanogaster, his laboratory investigates genes that control growth, cell proliferation, and cell death, with implications for human cancers. His work includes identifying genes involved in tissue growth regulation and regenerative processes, as well as exploring the genetic pathways that influence regenerative capacity. Hariharan's research has contributed to understanding the molecular basis of growth control and its relevance to human disease.

Iswar Hariharan is a researcher at the University of California, Berkeley, focusing on growth regulation, regeneration, cancer, and the Hippo pathway. His work explores the genetic and molecular mechanisms underlying tissue growth, cell cycle control, and tumor suppression. Using model organisms like Drosophila, he investigates how genes such as hippo, salvador, and Dacapo regulate cell proliferation and apoptosis. His research also examines the role of tumor suppressor genes in cancer and regenerative processes, with implications for human disease. Through comparative genomics and functional studies, Hariharan contributes to understanding the genetic basis of organ size control and disease mechanisms.
