Bio: During my undergrad, I was involved in a project focused on investigating the reproductive side effects of Imidacloprid (IMI) insecticide on the development of Wistar rats. My Master's thesis was about the investigation of the effects of different physicochemical factors on the structure and stability of HIV-1 vaccine candidate recombinant Tat protein. Following graduation, I was involved in various professional and research activities in different fields including Medical Genetics, Biomedical Engineering, and Molecular Biology. I was engaged in academic and industrial laboratories as a research assistant, biomedical laboratory technologist, and R&D specialist. My Ph.D. project focuses on engineering silk-based biomaterials to promote nerve regeneration.
