Research Experience

In the past year that I’ve been working as a research assistant at this center, on a cohort study on neurodegenerative disorders, I’ve practiced data gathering, search skills, scientific writing, and proposal writing skills.


USERN Research Internship


In the nine months I’ve spent as a research intern at USERN, working on a narrative review, I practiced and developed my search and scientific writing skills.


Experimental Medicine Research Center


I’ve worked on a preclinical study about seizure at Experimental Medicine Research Center of Tehran University of Medical Sciences. I’ve drafted parts of the proposal for this study and I developed my skills of working with animal models. The animal study was successfully done and now we are in molecular testing phase. The ethics code for this project is: 1402-4-101-69924


Researcher at Cancer Research Institute


I have recently started to write a systematic review in collaboration with this institute. The review aims to examine diagnostic tests for a type of cancer with AI.


 



Executive Experience


USERN Executive Internship


I began my role as an executive intern at USERN from January 2024, helping in running USERN Research Week, USERN Research Internship, and E-Learning. This oppurtunity is so valuable for me, helping me to expand my soft skills, including teamwork, communication, and time management.


GI Club


My co-workers and I have established a student scientific association on gastroenterology. We plan to hold educational sessions, make podcasts, provide research opportunities for students interested in gastroenterology, and so on. This has been a valuable experience for me to develop my creativity and teamwork skills.


Medication


Medication is a student scientific association with a wide range of activities; from medical education to self-development. In my opinion, the highlight of my work at Medication is holding Case Based Learning (CBL) sessions for basic sciences medical students.
