Bio
I grew up in Tehran, Iran, and my fascination with genetics began in middle school when I learned that every living thing is made based on only four nucleotides. This realization sparked my curiosity about how such a simple code could create the diversity of life we see around us. As I delved deeper, I became intrigued by the field of epigenetics and the questions it posed about where the role of genetics ends and epigenetics begins, particularly in the context of developmental and childhood disorders.
My journey in science led me to explore the complex interplay between genetics and epigenetics, focusing on how these processes influence health and disease. Along the way, I also developed a background in neuroscience, which has provided me with a broader perspective on the biological mechanisms underlying human brain diseases and development.
