Biography
Seyedeh Nafiseh Hassani received her B.Sc in Cell and Molecular Biology from Tehran University in 2002. She continued her education in same field at Khatam University in Tehran. She passed her thesis by Dr. Rafati at Pasteur Institute and graduated with an M.Sc in 2005. In 2008, she began a Ph.D degree) in Developmental Biology in a joint program between Royan Institute and the University of Science and Culture. Currently, she is working on her Ph.D thesis under the supervision of Dr Baharvand. Her major research interest is pluripotent signaling pathways in stem cells.
