Shahed University | Iran

The researcher has a strong background in medical bacteriology and microbiology, with extensive experience investigating genital mycoplasmas, Chlamydia trachomatis, and their clinical implications. His doctoral work focused on elucidating the relationship between genital mycoplasmas and C. trachomatis infections in the context of male infertility. This research integrated molecular diagnostics, including Multiplex Real-Time PCR, with conventional culture methods to assess pathogen prevalence and evaluate the impact of targeted antibiotic therapy on spermatozoa quality and reproductive outcomes. His findings contributed to a better understanding of how bacterial pathogens influence male reproductive health and highlighted the utility of molecular approaches for accurate detection and treatment monitoring.

At the master’s level, his research involved a comparative analysis of PCR and culture techniques for detecting Mycoplasma hominis and Ureaplasma urealyticum in infertile men. This work emphasized the diagnostic advantages of molecular assays over traditional microbiological methods, supporting improved clinical decision-making in reproductive microbiology. Across his academic training, he has developed expertise in molecular diagnostics, microbial pathogenesis, reproductive tract infections, and translational approaches aimed at improving infertility management. His research collectively underscores the importance of integrating advanced molecular tools to enhance diagnostic precision and therapeutic outcomes in clinical microbiology.
