Parvaneh Mohammadi Ph.D.
Department of Stem Cells and Developmental Biology
Assistant professor
Parvaneh Mohammadi earned her B. Sc. in Animal Biology from Shahid Chamran University of Ahvaz, Iran in 2006, and also, she graduated in MSc of developmental biology from Science and Culture University, Tehran, Iran, 2009. Upon completion of her Master’s degree, she continued her research as a research assistant at Royan Institute, in the Department of Regenerative Medicine and she started research on skin and hair field. In 2010 she got accepted as a PhD student in the Department of Cell and Developmental Biology at Royan Institute where she thereafter began a series of studies with a main focus on hair cells. She earned her PhD in Developmental Biology from University of Science and Culture, Tehran, Iran, 2016. As of now she is a principal investigator in Royan Institute and the head of Hair and Skin Research team.
Developmental biology, Wound healing, Hair loss, Skin and hair diseases
We have experience more than one decade in mechanisms regulating and governing adult skin cells and hair regeneration. Our work paved the way for the initiation of some clinical trials in skin related diseases, such as vitiligo, burns, wrinkles, Epidrmolysis Bullosa, and alopecia. What we are trying to do in future is a mix of developmental and stem cell biology, applied to skin and hair diseases. We are interested in the ultimate goal of treating patients.
