Biography
Originally from Mashad, Khorasan, Iran, I have received my Bachelor of Chemistry degree from Shiraz University, Iran in 1989. I then completed my Master of Science and PhD degree in the Department of Clinical Biochemistry at Tarbiat Modarres University, Iran in 1996 and 2004 under the supervisions of Dr. Lotfi and Karami Tehrani respectively. Prior to joining to the Department of Human Anatomy and Cell Science, University of Manitoba in October 2013 as an Assistant Professor, I worked as a Post Doctoral Fellow in the laboratory of Dr. Marek Los (CancerCare Manitoba), Dr. Andrew J. Halayko (Department of Physiology) and Dr. Ian MC Dixon (Department of Physiology) at the University of Manitoba. Currently my research focus is developing new therapeutic approaches in lung cancer, cardiopulmonary diseases, and infection disease based on modification of apoptosis, autophagy, and unfolded protein response (UPR) pathway.
Research Interest
In past 10 years, my research has been focused on developing new therapeutic approaches in lung cancer, cardiopulmonary diseases, and infection disease based on modification of apoptosis, autophagy, and unfolded protein response (UPR) pathway.
