Azadeh Mesripour , PhDAssociate Professor
School :School of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical SciencesDepartment :Department of Pharmacology and ToxicologyResearch Center :work address :IsfahanEducation :Ph.D Pharmacology Pharmacy Dr. Relevant Work Experience :I have more than 8 years’ experience in mentoring and giving lectures and seminars to undergraduate/graduate students. My researcher are in the field of behavioral Pharmacology, neuropharmacology, I also have experience in cardiovascular research. My ongoing research projects are focused on depression using animal models. I am planning to understand the neuronal circuits involved in depression and the molecular-cellular changes in depression. I am looking forward to translating my research that almost always involved animal models of disease into a final and fully approved therapeutic agent. Professional Memberships & Qualification :Extra Curricular Activities/ Interest(personal url) :Grants & Awards :Achieved more than 30 grants from Isfahan University of Medical Sciences Research Council Patents :Presentations & Poster Sessions :Research Experience :RESEARCH EXPERIENCE:
- Dissection of different parts of rat brain. - Animal models of Depression, Tail suspension test and force swim test. - Anxiety evaluation in mice by the elevated plus maize. - Inducing morphine addiction and withdrawal assessments in mice. - Pain and inflammation assessments in mice. - Memory evaluation in mice by using the Object Recognition Task.
- Isolated heart preparation (Langendorff). - Isolated thoracic aortic rings (Organ baths). - Measuring the systolic blood pressure in rat (Tail-cuff).
ELISA, Confocal microscope imaging. Various Word-processing, statistical (Sigma-stat, Prizm) and graphing programs (Sigma-plot, prizm, chart, Excel). Research Interests :My interests are primarily neuropharmacology; memory assessment, depression models and dissection of different parts of the rat brain. My ongoing research projects focus on acute and chronic depression models with the aim of discovering new receptors and introducing complementary medicine for depression. I am evaluating the relationship of drugs on depression-like behavior and hippocampal BDNF level. I am very keen to get the chance to understand the neuronal circuits involved, and the molecular-cellular changes in diseases. Teaching Experience :Teaching Interests : |
