O autorze

Dr. Saeid Kargozar is currently an Assistant Professor of Tissue Engineering and Applied Cell Sciences at Mashhad University of Medical Sciences (MUMS), Mashhad, Iran. He earned a Bachelor in Radiology Technology from Iran University of Medical Sciences (IUMS), a Master in Medical Biotechnology from Tehran University of Medical Sciences (TUMS), and his Ph.D. degree in Tissue Engineering from TUMS in 2016. As the head of tissue engineering laboratory, Dr. Kargozar is the supervisor of a couple of master and Ph.D. students in the field of biomaterials and tissue engineering. He is actively working on natural and synthetic biomaterials (especially bioactive glasses) for repair and regeneration of injured tissues. As rebuilding vessels for damaged tissues and organs are of great importance in reconstructive strategies, the induction of angiogenesis by using biocompatible materials forms a big part of Dr. Kargozar's research goals. Dr. Masoud Mozafari is a Fellow at Lunenfeld Tanenbaum Research Institute, Mount Sinai Health Hospital, University of Toronto. He was previously Assistant Professor and Director of the Bioengineering Lab, at the Nanotechnology and Advanced Materials Department, Materials and Energy Research Center, Cellular and Molecular Research Center, and Department of Tissue Engineering and Regenerative Medicine of the Iran University of Medical Sciences (IUMS), Tehran, Iran. Dr. Mozafari's research interests range across biomaterials, nanotechnology, and tissue engineering, and he is known for the development of strategies for the treatment of damaged tissues and organs, and controlling biological substances for targeted delivery into the human body. Dr. Mozafari has received several awards, including the Khwarizmi Award and the Julia Polak European Doctorate Award for outstanding translational research contributions to the field of biomaterials. He has also received the WIPO Medal for Inventors from The World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO), in recognition of his contributions to economic and technological development. Dr. Mozafari is currently working on the editorial board of several journals.
