The Department of Biology is thrilled to welcome Dr. Maryam Kohram to Georgetown University as our newest Assistant Professor, effective January 2026. Dr. Kohram brings a unique, interdisciplinary perspective to our department, working at the fascinating intersection of Physics and Biology. Her research explores the fundamental physical principles that govern biological systems, helping us better understand how living organisms function through the lens of quantitative physics. Before joining us at Georgetown, Dr. Kohram established herself as a leader in biophysics. Her presence will strengthen our commitment to collaborative research and provide our students with new insights into how complex biological problems can be addressed using physical principles and engineered experimental systems. Please join us in giving her a warm Hoya welcome! You can find her in Regents Hall, Room 304, or reach her via email to discuss potential collaborations and student research opportunities. You may reach her here:
