Undergraduate researcher developing a chitosan–hyaluronic acid herbal nanogel, carried from bench formulation through to patent filing and international presentation.
About
Raman Nafarieh is an undergraduate student in Molecular and Cellular Biology at Islamic Azad University, Science and Research Branch, Tehran. His research activity centres on one focused biomedical nanotechnology project, carried from laboratory formulation through to scientific documentation, patent filing, and international presentation.
The trajectory has been continuous: research training under formal laboratory supervision, hands-on formulation and physicochemical evaluation, cell-based laboratory work, scientific documentation, and — building on that foundation — intellectual property filings and participation in international invention forums.
He now also mentors younger researchers at the Iranian Youth Science and Technology Center, while continuing his degree and developing the same formulation approach toward broader biomedical nanotechnology questions.
Featured Research Project
A chitosan–hyaluronic acid nanogel matrix was formulated with plant-derived extracts — Viola odorata, curcumin (from Curcuma longa), and Spirulina platensis — then characterised for physicochemical stability and taken through cell-based laboratory evaluation using the MTT assay.
This project is the basis of the patent applications, the published abstract, and all five award recognitions documented below. The full research paper is not published on this site; it is available to academic reviewers and institutions on request.
