Department of Pharmacology and Toxicology
Temerty Faculty of Medicine, University of Toronto
I am a Research Associate in the Department of Pharmacology and Toxicology at the University of Toronto. I received my Ph.D. in Physics from the University of Zanjan (Iran) and completed an exchange semester in the Department of Applied Mathematics at the University of Waterloo (Waterloo, Ontario, Canada). I pursued postdoctoral research in quantitative oncology at the Biomathematics and Fluids Group at Toronto Metropolitan University, and in computational immunology at the Departments of Mathematics and Statistics at York University (supervised by Dr. Jane Heffernan and Dr. Iain Moyles, Toronto, Ontario, Canada), the University of Manitob (Winnipeg, Manitoba), and Université de Montréal (supervised by Dr. Morgan Craig, Montréal, Québec, Canada).

Research Interests
Women's Cancers, and Brain Health
My research investigates how inherited genetic variation and estrogen signaling influence breast and ovarian cancer susceptibility, treatment response, and long-term brain health. By integrating statistical genetics, functional genomics, and interpretable artificial intelligence, I aim to identify causal molecular mechanisms that enable biomarker discovery and therapeutic target identification. I am particularly interested in understanding how biological pathways shared between women's cancers contribute to neuropsychiatric disorders, cognitive decline, and Alzheimer's disease.
