Sahin is a faculty member in the Division of Gastroenterology, Hepatology, and Nutrition at Boston Children’s Hospital and Harvard Medical School. He was a postdoctoral fellow with Joanna Wysocka and Jonathan Pritchard at Stanford University, where he used quantitative approaches to study transcriptional control in human variation and disease. He completed his Ph.D. with David Page at the Whitehead Institute and MIT, where he studied the evolution of genetic and gene regulatory sex differences in mammals, and his A.B. at Princeton University, studying cell cycle regulation with James Broach and non-equilibrium receptor cooperativity with Ned Wingreen. He has received a K99 Pathway to Independence Award from NIDCR, a Helen Hay Whitney Postdoctoral Fellowship, the OSSD New Investigator Award, and the MIT Presidential Fellowship. Outside of the lab, he enjoys learning about ancient history, playing and listening to music, and trying to avoid injury while playing soccer.
