Ali Karimireikandeh

My academic background is in molecular biology and genetics, with a growing interest in biomaterials, nanomedicine, and their applications in biomedical research. I completed my master's degree at the University of Pavia, Italy. During my studies, I had the opportunity to gain international research experience at the Technical University of Denmark (DTU), where I worked on the development and characterization of electrospun nanofibrous scaffolds for controlled drug delivery. I later joined the University of Helsinki, Finland, as an Erasmus+ research trainee, where I further expanded my experience in drug delivery systems, lipid nanoparticles, and microfluidic technologies. In November 2026, I started my PhD at POLYMAT, as part of the Marie Skłodowska-Curie CMT-DN Doctoral Network. My current research focuses on the development of layer-by-layer polymeric capsules for targeted and on-demand delivery of cerebroprotective drugs, with the aim of contributing to innovative therapeutic approaches for neurological diseases. My research interests include polymeric biomaterials, advanced drug delivery systems, and nanomedicine, particularly their potential applications in neuroprotection.
