Post-Doctoral Research Fellow, School of Biological Sciences (2014 - 2017 )

Research Interests

My training in genetics started during the time I worked at ABRII on my master project. My zeal in using mathematical modeling and algorithms for describing different biological systems inspired me to pursue a Ph.D. in Bioinformatics at Department of Bioinformatics, Institute of Biochemistry and Biophysics (IBB), University of Tehran in 2009. I subsequently went on to join the Department of Molecular Systems Biology at ACECR and School of Biological Science at Institute for Research in Fundamental Sciences (IPM), which are leading institutes in the field of Bioinformatics in Iran in 2010. My academic background and interest in Bioinformatics gave me the opportunity to get financial support from the Iranian Ministry of Science scholarship to be a visiting scientist at Donnelly Center for Cellular and Bimolecular Research, University of Toronto, Canada, for a year. This was a great opportunity for me to work in one of the top-notch research groups in the field of Bioinformatics. About my projects, they are based on transcriptome data and try to discover dynamical changes during cancer progression. I analyzed the structural changes in a network during different stages of various cancers ranging from primary tumor to metastasis. I am also trying to develop new algorithms and approaches to detecting critical genes in complex diseases such as cancer. I work well as part of a team as well as on my own. Outside of work, I enjoy hiking, playing the Santour (Dulcimer), cooking and Nard (Backgammon).
