I am a PhD-qualified Toxicologist with extensive expertise in both in-vitro and in-vivo studies, OECD guideline-based toxicological testing, molecular biology, and regulatory risk assessment. My career encompasses research, consultancy, and academia, including roles as a Science Teacher, Research Technician at the University of Surrey, and Application Scientist advising industry on hazardous materials compliance and regulatory frameworks. I have authored and co-authored over 20 peer-reviewed publications and excel at translating complex scientific data into clear, practical insights.
Over the past five years, I have successfully adapted to a new country, environment, and language, developing strong resilience, adaptability, and cross-cultural communication skills. These experiences, combined with my background in research, industry collaboration, and teaching, have equipped me with a wide range of transferable skills highly relevant to consultancy, such as stakeholder engagement, project leadership, client advisory, and strategic problem-solving.
I am fluent in English and Persian and proficient in a broad range of laboratory and analytical techniques, including cell culture, flow cytometry, ELISA, PCR, GC-FID/GC-MS, and risk assessment. Outside of my professional life, I am married with a five-year-old son, and I enjoy knitting, cooking, and swimming, which provide balance and creativity beyond work.
I am now seeking opportunities to combine my scientific expertise, regulatory knowledge, and consultancy skills in a role that values technical depth, clear communication, and collaboration.
