Speech Title : Effect of gamma-Fe2O3 @CMD nanostructures on triple-negative breast cancer cells.

Zaruhi Karabekian received her PhD in Biomedical Sciences from Eastern Virginia Medical School and Old Dominion University in 2001 (USA). She then worked at the National Institutes of Health, the startup company Tolergenics, and George Washington University (USA). Upon returning to Armenia, she assumed the position of Head of the Laboratory of Immunology and Tissue Engineering (LITE) at the Orbeli Institute of Physiology (OIPH, Republic of Armenia). Her current research interests focus on the immunological evaluation of newly designed materials for tissue engineering. The combination of decellularized or 3D printed scaffolds, followed by recellularization, results in unique tissues that have never been assessed for their viability, mechanical strength, and immunogenicity. Another area of the research is the testing of small-molcules or custom-designed nanoparticles in their ability to fight cancers.
