Biography
Marzieh Ebrahimi received her B.Sc in Cell and Molecular Biology from the Department of Biology at Tehran University in 1996. To pursue the underlying sciences in more depth, she obtained a Master’s degree and Ph.D in Immunology from the Medical Faculty at Tarbiat Modarres University in 2000 and 2007, with a focus on tumor therapy by chemical component and activation of DCs. Since July 2009- July 2010, she worked in the Oncology Surgery, ZLF, Unihospitale of Basel, Switzerland as a postdoctoral fellow. In Jun 2009, she received an award from the Iranian Presidential Office, Center for Women and Family Affairs as a Woman Elite. Dr. Ebrahimi began research in field of stem cells in the Department of Stem Cells at Royan Institute in 2003 as a researcher and in 2007 she got an assistant professor. Currently, she is the leader of the Hematopoietic and Cancer Stem Cells Group, the Royan Public Cord Blood Bank programs, and Head of the Cytometry Laboratory.
