The
research interests of the Lab focus on the in vitrocharacterization of
oxidative events accompanying amyloid aggregation, drug-protein interaction and
enzyme inhibition, using both experimental and computational tools.
Our laboratory uses a multi-angle and
multidisciplinary approach to study the fundamentals of protein aggregation and
the mechanism by which the resulting aggregates cause cell dysfunction.
The manipulation of the
structures of various proteins (especially engineered epidermal growth factor mutants) so as to produce desired
properties, or the synthesis of proteins with particular structures are in
process in our Lab.

Reza
Khodarahmi (Professor in Biochemistry) was born in
Nahavand-Iran, 1974. He received his Bsc degree in general Biology from the
Razi University-Kermanshah and then graduated in Biochemistry (Msc) from the
TarbiatModarres University-Tehran, and finally received his PhD degree in 2005
from the Institute of Biochemistry and Biophysics of the University of Tehran
for his studies on the effects of artificial chaperones on protein misfolding
and aggregation.
Since 2007, he has held a position in the school of Pharmaceutical
Sciences (and Medical Biology Research Center), Kermanshah University of
Medical Sciences. His research interests focus on the in vitro
characterization of oxidative events accompanying amyloid aggregation,
drug-protein interaction and enzyme inhibition, using both experimental and
computational tools.
