Experiences 

I began my research journey in October 2022 during the final year of my bachelor's studies at Persian Gulf University in Bushehr, under the guidance of Professor Mohammadizadeh. In this period, my focus was on the theoretical investigation of DOTA (Dodecane tetraacetic acid), a contrast agent commonly used in cancer diagnostics and treatment. This phase concluded in March 2023, after which I engaged in laboratory-based research, collaborating on the synthesis of Isatin derivatives with N-aryl-enaminones—efforts that led to the development of compounds with diverse biological activities. I subsequently pursued an independent undergraduate project centered on the synthesis of Isatin and 6-Aminouracil, a topic I continued to expand upon based on emerging findings.

After graduating with my bachelor’s degree, I was accepted into the master’s program at Amirkabir University of Technology in Tehran, where I have now completed my first year. My master’s research explores two major areas: the development of a herbal hydrogel aimed at minimizing digestive system complications in cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy, and the advancement of analytical techniques using photoelectrochemical sensors and molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs). The hydrogel project is ongoing, with promising implications for supportive cancer care. Alongside my research, I have actively participated in scientific conferences and seminars and have authored several journal papers, including a publication in TrAC Journal, with additional manuscripts in progress.

This structured academic path—moving from foundational research in my bachelor’s to innovative work in my master’s—highlights my commitment to both organic synthesis and health-related applications, aiming to contribute significantly to the fields of cancer science and medical diagnostics.
