Summary
Research Center is a research leader at the University of Tehran's Microbial Technology & Product (MTP) Research Center, with eight years of focused experience in microbial genomics, biodiversity and polyphasic taxonomy. Under long-standing institutional roots dating back to applied microbiology work begun over 50 years ago, the center he leads specializes in isolating and evaluating bioactive microorganisms—particularly actinomycetes—for industrial biotechnology. He directs a multidisciplinary team across screening, molecular, and fermentation labs and maintains three biological collections (UTBC, UTMC, UTGC) that support translational research. His group combines classical enrichment and isolation techniques with modern genomic approaches to discover novel species and bioactive compounds. Based in Iran, he has grown the center into an independent research entity since 2011 and expanded its academic depth by recruiting additional faculty and students. A detail that sets him apart is the center’s continuity from pioneering isolation methods to contemporary genomic collections, reflecting both historical legacy and modern innovation.
