Azam Tayabali is an Adjunct Research Professor in the Department of Biology at Carleton University. His research primarily involves assessing risks associated with new and existing substances at Health Canada. His laboratory studies the toxicity of a wide variety of substances, focusing on microorganisms and nanomaterials. Tayabali's investigation into microorganisms explores industrial and clinical strains and their pathogenic potential, specifically developing methods to differentiate harmful strains from non-harmful ones by interrogating virulence attributes, toxin expression, and resistance to antibiotics. His work also includes testing the effects of various nanomaterials on cellular health and gut microbiota, employing systematic approaches to understand their toxicological mechanisms. His selected publications reflect his research on the immune responses to zinc oxide nanoparticles and the pathogenic potential of bioremediation products. Tayabali's academic contributions significantly enhance the understanding of environmental health and safety measures.
