Maryam Fazeli, PhD, is a virologist specializing in
oncolytic virotherapy and emerging viral diseases. She completed her PhD in
Medical Virology at Modares University in 2015, focusing on the development of
therapeutic DNA vaccines. Over the years, she has gained extensive expertise in
viral immunology, bioinformatics, and advanced techniques such as CRISPR/Cas9
gene-editing. Currently, Dr. Fazeli is a researcher at the ATMP Department,
Breast Cancer Research Center, Motamed Cancer Institute, ACECR, Tehran. Her
research centers on designing oncolytic adenoviruses targeting HPV-related
cancers and exploring innovative therapeutic approaches for diseases like
COVID-19 and rabies. She has contributed to numerous international and national
projects and has published extensively in peer-reviewed journals. Teaching and
mentoring are also key aspects of her career, and she is passionate about
advancing the field of virology and developing novel treatments for
viral-driven cancers.
