Academic Qualification
Assoc. Prof. Dr. Abbasali Raz is a distinguished medical biotechnologist. He completed his Associate degree in Laboratory Sciences at Kashan University of Medical Sciences (1997-2000), followed by a B.Sc. in Laboratory Sciences from Iran University of Medical Sciences (2000-2002). He earned an M.Sc. in Medical Biotechnology from Tarbiat Modarres University (2003-2006), where his thesis focused on sex determination of single blastomeres via real-time PCR to prevent inherited sex-linked diseases. Dr. Raz then pursued a Ph.D. at the Pasteur Institute of Iran (2006-2013), researching the molecular characterization of carboxypeptidase B in An. stephensi as a candidate for transmission-blocking vaccines. š§¬šš§«
Research Focus
Dr. Abbas Ali Raz’s research focuses on vector-borne diseases, particularly malaria, using innovative approaches like paratransgenic tools to combat mosquito-borne pathogens. His studies encompass molecular characterization of mosquito gut microbiota, evaluation of transmission-blocking vaccines, and identification of potential biological markers in disease vectors. Dr. Raz also explores therapeutic applications of enzymes and the molecular biology of insects like Anopheles and Lucilia.
