Dr. Amin Hassanzadehbarforoushi

Biography

Amin Hassanzadehbarforoushi is a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at Macquarie University, working within the nanosensors group in the School of Natural Sciences. His research focuses on multidisciplinary applications of microfluidics for the development of innovative diagnostic and therapeutic systems. Prior to joining Macquarie University, he held a Mitacs Elevate postdoctoral fellowship at the University of British Columbia and collaborated with Amgen in Vancouver, Canada, where he pioneered a high-throughput technique for single B cell screening to accelerate antibody discovery. He obtained his PhD from the University of New South Wales, where he developed microfluidic capillary systems for cell confinement that enabled tracking of dynamic cellular behavior and interactions at the single-cell level. His research has significantly advanced the understanding of intercellular heterogeneity in diseases such as cancer and myocardial infarction, and his findings have been published in leading journals including Lab Chip and ACS Sensors. Currently, he sits on the topical advisory panel for the journal Micromachines and is involved in a Cancer NSW funded project focused on integrated microfluidic-nanomaterial platforms aimed at real-time monitoring of patient treatment in breast cancer and understanding exosomal interactions at the single cell level.
