Investigating the therapeutic potential of extracellular vesicle-derived natural killer cells (NK-EVs) in pancreatic cancer spheroids, our work highlights the unique ability of NK-EVs to target solid tumors, particularly those less accessible to conventional therapies.
I received my M.Sc. in Cell and Developmental Biology from the University of Science and Culture in collaboration with the Royan Institute, under the supervision of Prof. Marzieh Ebrahimi. My thesis focused on the generation of efficient NK cells from umbilical cord blood by targeting TGF-β and GSK-3 signaling pathways and using tacrolimus. During my studies, I joined a knowledge-based company, where I gained hands-on experience in optimizing NK and NKT cell expansion protocols, as well as in NK cell immunotherapy, including clinical-scale cell enrichment, flow cytometry, and quality control for phase I/II clinical trials in glioblastoma treatment.
