IranWhat I'm looking for
I am a medical doctor trained at Tehran University of Medical Sciences with hands-on experience as a general practitioner and multiple research assistant roles at leading Iranian centers. I combine patient care with rigorous clinical research to improve outcomes.
My research work includes systematic reviews, meta-analyses, and clinical cohort studies in cardiology, nephrology, trauma, and orthopedics, with publications in peer-reviewed journals. I have contributed as an author and lead researcher on several multi-author studies.
I have practical laboratory and animal-model experience, and I am skilled in biostatistics, data analysis (SPSS, R), image analysis (ImageJ), and systematic review methodology. I have also led small research teams and coordinated project activities across centers.
I am passionate about translating research into real-world patient care, mentoring collaborators, and pursuing projects that bridge clinical questions with evidence synthesis and clinical trials.
