Projects

Peptide vectors for gene delivery 

CV

Studied Chemical Engineering at Sahand University of Technology, Iran. Received Master degree in Chemical Engineering-Biomedical Division from Tarbiat Modares University, Iran; under the mentorship of Prof. Ebrahim Vasheghani-Farahani.
In 2017 moved to Switzerland to pursue a PhD program in Nanoscience under the collaborative supervisions of  Prof. Cornelia Palivan and Prof. Yaakov (Kobi) Benenson. The PhD project focuses on interdisciplinary research area in the field of biotechnology and nanomedicine for developing a novel therapeutic delivery system.
