Hi, I'm Khaja Shameem, a Postdoctoral Fellow at Huntington Medical Research Institutes.

Dr. Khaja Shameem took part in the American Heart Association’s 5K Heart Walk. The event highlights the importance of community engagement in advancing cardiovascular health, complementing his ongoing research into the molecular mechanisms of heart disease.

In Press: Dr. Khaja Shameem’s review article, “Protein Phosphatases in Metabolic Dysfunction-Associated Steatotic Liver Disease: Emerging Mechanisms and Therapeutic Strategies” has been accepted for publication in Current Opinion in Physiology.

This review highlights the pivotal role of protein phosphatases in the pathogenesis of MASLD and MASH, focusing on their regulation of insulin signaling, lipid metabolism, inflammation, and fibrosis. It emphasizes how targeting phosphatase activity may offer new therapeutic opportunities to reduce steatosis, improve insulin sensitivity, and alleviate fibrosis, addressing a critical unmet need in liver disease treatment.
