Stem Cell Research
Coaxing induced pluripotent stem cells down defined lineages — and reading the transcriptional decisions that make one daughter cell a neuron and its sibling something else entirely.

Negin Farahi Unlocking the Micro-Universe
I study how a single cell decides to divide, differentiate, and die — mapping the molecular machinery that keeps living tissue in balance, and how cancer learns to break its rules.

01 — Fields of focus
Where I look through the objective lens
Four overlapping questions about how cells build, maintain, and occasionally betray the tissues they belong to.
S-02
Molecular Mechanisms
Tracing signaling cascades and gene-regulatory circuits that translate an external cue into a cell-fate commitment.
SignalingGene regulation
S-03
Oncology
Investigating how tumour cells silence the checkpoints that normally force a damaged cell to stop dividing — and where those escape routes stay vulnerable.

Live-Cell & Confocal Imaging
Capturing organelles in motion — mitochondrial fission, spindle assembly, membrane trafficking — with multi-channel fluorescence and quantitative image analysis.

Organoids
3D culture that lets tissue self-organise in a dish.

02 — Trajectory
A strand of decisions
Read it like a chromosome — each base a place where the work turned toward something new.
2016 — 2020
B.Sc. Cellular & Molecular Biology
University of Tehran
First contact with the fluorescence microscope — and the realisation that a cell is not a bag of chemicals but a decision-making system.
2020 — 2022
M.Sc. Cell Biology
Thesis · Stem-cell differentiation dynamics
Built live-imaging pipelines to track lineage commitment in real time, quantifying how signalling noise shapes cell-fate choice.
2022 — 2024
Research Associate
Molecular Oncology Group
Dissected checkpoint-escape mechanisms in patient-derived tumour models; co-authored work on apoptosis resistance.
2024 — Present
Doctoral Researcher
Stem Cell & Regeneration Lab
Combining organoid models with high-content imaging to ask how tissues repair themselves — and why that programme fails.
