Mostafa Yazdimamaghani received his BS from Isfahan University of Technology in Chemical Engineering and MS from University of Tehran in Polymer Engineering. An engineer by training with a specialty in nanotechnology, Mostafa’s research focused on the impact of nanoparticle design on sedimentation, cellular uptake, cytotoxicity, and gene expression while he was a PhD student in the Department of Pharmaceutics and Pharmaceutical Chemistry at the University of Utah. Following graduation, Mostafa joined UNC as a NIH T32 supported postdoctoral fellow in the Carolina Cancer Nanotechnology Training Program. Working under the guidance of Dr. Jonathan Serody, Mostafa’s research is mainly focused on utilizing nanotechnology to modulate the immune response by harnessing the power and specificity of T cells to eradicate triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC). One of the therapeutic strategies he is currently exploring is nanoparticle co-delivery of neoantigens and adjuvant in combination with checkpoint inhibitors as a potential TNBC treatment.
In his free time, Mostafa enjoys spending time outdoors hiking with his family.
