Autorenporträt

Hossein Baharvand, PhD Born in 1972, Hossein Baharvand received his Ph.D degree from University for Teacher Training (TARBIAT MOALEM), Tehran in 2004 in the field of Developmental Biology. He joined Royan institute when he was M.Sc. student in 1995.  He is currently professor and director of Royan Institute for Stem Cell Biology and Technology (2002-now) and head of Department of Developmental Biology at University of Science and Culture (2006-now). He established the first mouse and human embryonic stem cells in Iran (2003). Later his team has generated several mouse and human embryonic and induced pluripotent stem cells (2008). This has enabled them to pursue many avenues of research into translational research and regenerative medicine. He has published 130 international and 98 national peer-reviewed papers, as well as five chapters in international books, six books in Persian, and translated six English text books into Persian. He was editor of three international books (2009, 2012, Humana press, Springer, USA). He is editorial board member of eight international journals and was as invited speaker in several meetings. He has received 18 international and national prizes including 10 th (2004), 12 th (2006), and 17 th (2012) annual Razi research festival on medical sciences, 27 th annual book of the year of the Islamic republic of Iran (2010), Academy of Medical Sciences of Iran (Dr. Hadavi's Award, 2010), Sicence and Technology Prize of the Islamic Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (ISESCO) in the field of Biology (2010).         Nasser Aghdami,   MD, PhD Born in 1971 in Iran, Nasser Aghdami received his MD degree from Urumieh Medical University in 1998 and PhD in Immunology in 2007 from Tarbiat Modares University, Iran. He joined the Hematology, Oncology and BMT Research Center in 2000 as a principal investigator and Royan Institutefor Stem Cell Biology and Technology in 2006. Dr. Aghdami's research has focused on the development of cardiovascular development, translational research, and the role of stem cells in tissue regeneration.   Since 2008, he is the Head of the Department of Regenerative Medicine and Royan Cell Therapy Center. In this regard, clinical trial design and performance is one of his responsibilities. He has served on numerous national grant review committees, advisory panels and editorial boards related to stem cells, clinical trials, and cell therapy. Dr. Aghdami has published 21 international and 10 national peer-reviewed papers, as well as three chapters in international books, two books in Farsi, and translated one book into Farsi.
