VALIDATE Role: Network Associate
Research Keywords: Tuberculosis, Systems Biology and Bioinformatics
Biography: I obtained my Ph.D. in Bioinformatics from the University of Tehran, under the supervision of Dr. Ali Masoudi-Nejad in the Systems Biology and Bioinformatics Lab (LBB). Now I’m working as a postdoctoral researcher at the Department of Medicine, Solna at Karolinska Institute in the laboratory of Dr. Christopher Sundling and Prof. Gunilla Källenius since August 2021. We are working on how Mycobacterium Tuberculosis (Mtb) affect the immune response during active and latent TB, to identify signatures associated with TB disease progression, using methods such as T cell FluoroSpot, Olink/plasma protein measurement, and mass cytometry. During my PhD program, I have published several papers related to drug-resistance in cancer, drug-target networks, information theory in systems biology and cancer systems biology. Moreover, due to my background in computer science, I have good experience in algorithm design and programming, and I am really interested in developing computational methods and applications to analyse large scale multi-omics data for better understanding the underlying molecular mechanisms behind complex diseases. My research interest lies in the fields of bioinformatics, network and systems biology and also deep learning.
