FATEMEH AGHAJANI
Lombardy ItalyBiography
Fatemeh Aghajani is a Master’s student in Molecular Biology and Genetics at the University of Pavia, with a strong academic and research focus on cancer biology. Her thesis work centers on understanding the biological effects of different radiotherapy modalities X-rays, protons, and carbon ions on head and neck cancer cell lines. By employing in vitro survival assays and radiobiological modeling, she investigates how particle therapies can overcome tumor radioresistance, one of the major obstacles in effective cancer treatment.
Her research is carried out at the National Center for Oncological Hadrontherapy (CNAO), where she explores how radiation quality influences DNA damage, clonogenic survival, and therapeutic potential. This work not only deepens understanding of the molecular and cellular responses of tumors to irradiation but also provides preclinical evidence for advancing personalized radiotherapy strategies.
Fatemeh’s academic foundation in Cell and Molecular Biology (BSc, Tehran) and her laboratory experience including PCR, Western blotting, immunohistochemistry, and cancer cell culture equip her with both the experimental and analytical skills necessary for cancer research. Her broader interests span tumor biology, mechanisms of radioresistance, and translational therapeutic strategies, reflecting her commitment to advancing oncology through integrative approaches that combine molecular biology with innovative cancer therapies.

Dr. Jawad Alzeer
University of Zurich Switzerland
Dr. Jawad Alzeer
University of Zurich SwitzerlandBiography
I am Jawad Alzeer, a researcher at the University of Zurich with a deep interest in lifestyle medicine, holistic health, and integrative approaches to disease prevention and healing. My academic journey blends modern biomedical science with traditional knowledge systems to better understand how lifestyle choices shape our health at both the cellular and energetic levels.
My core focus lies in developing the Lifestylopathy framework, a concept I introduced to redefine chronic disease as a consequence of disrupted lifestyle patterns rather than isolated biological events. Lifestylopathy views the body as an interconnected system where energy, rhythm, and flow are essential for maintaining balance and vitality. Through this lens, I aim to highlight how conscious lifestyle changes—such as breathwork, nutrition, movement, and sleep—can restore physiological harmony and enhance the body’s natural healing capabilities.

Scott Themsen
Copenhagen DenmarkBiography
Scott Themsen is a passionate molecular biologist and geneticist with expertise in medicine, cell function, and human physiology. I am particularly interested in how cellular mechanisms drive dynamic processes in health and disease, including conditions such as diabetes, genetic diseases, and muscle disorders. My scientific curiosity and dedication to problem solving drive me towards meaningful, translational research and laboratory work.
I am an outgoing person who quickly adapts to new environments and challenges. I have taught and supervised undergraduate, graduate, and PhD students with a focus on scientific methods and technical skills. I have gained over 600 hours of experience with microscopy, contributed to the development of a biosensor, and worked hands-on with both human and animal tissue materials. In addition, I have taken on research assistant assignments for 1.5 years, where I have helped implement sustainable work routines, handle chemical waste under GMP/GLP standards, and actively participate in symposia, conferences, and interdisciplinary research projects.
I am now seeking opportunities to apply my skills and experience in a professional context – whether in analytical laboratory work, research support or scientific development. I am particularly drawn to environments that value innovation, collaboration and scientific integrity. Let’s connect if you are passionate about advancing science or want to share experiences and insights!

Mahbobe Jafariesfad
Copenhagen DenmarkBiography
With a background in laboratory sciences and human genetics, I have developed a deep interest in the molecular mechanisms underlying disease—particularly in the context of cancer and immune-related disorders. My academic journey has led me to work across a range of research environments, from university labs to industry internships, where I’ve explored topics like cancer stem cell biology, circular RNAs, and antibody-based therapeutics.
During my master’s studies, I focused on gastric cancer and its association with cancer stem cell markers, which sparked a broader interest in the role of non-coding RNAs in disease progression. Later, as part of a research team at Bu Ali Research Institute, I became more involved in molecular techniques that allowed me to contribute to ongoing projects in cellular and genetic research.
Most recently, I joined Immunordic for an internship, where I worked on early-phase research into nanobody-based therapeutics, supporting efforts in oncology and neuroscience. This experience gave me valuable insight into translational research and the growing intersection between academic science and biotech innovation.
Being part of IMGENETICS2026 is an exciting opportunity for me to share ideas and learn from others working at the forefront of genetics and genome research.
