Background

Dr. Hoque is an Associate Professor of Otolaryngology-Head & Neck Surgery, Urology and Oncology at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. Dr. Hoque completed dental and oral surgery training at the Dhaka Dental College, Dhaka University, Bangladesh. He then moved to Japan for the completion of Ph.D degree, where he also completed Advanced Clinical Training in Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery and Oncology. After training in Japan, he worked in the Head and Neck Cancer Research Division as a Postdoctoral Fellow under the mentorship of Dr. David Sidransky. He joined as a faculty member in 2006 in the Department of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery. His research interests includes: a) To understand molecular biologic basis of head and neck, lung and genitourinary cancer b) To develop and validate genetic and epigenetic approach for early cancer diagnosis, cancer risk assessment and cancer prognosis and c) To identify molecular alterations due to environmental exposures such as active smoking, passive smoking and arsenic.
