Author Information
Dr. Chakoli is a Member of the Scientific Board at the Nuclear Science and Technology Research Institute (NSTRI), Tehran, Iran, as well as Lecturer at Shahed University, Tehran, Iran. With over 10 years of experience in the research and development of advanced composite materials and structures, smart materials and multifunctional materials, Dr. Chakoli has acted as scientific committee member and secretary for international and national conferences, and has presented over 20 workshops. He has published more than 35 papers in reputed journals and conference proceedings, and is a reviewer for several journals, including RSC Advances and the Journal of Applied Polymer Science. His research interests include biodegradable polymers, shape memory polymers, oxidized regenerated cellulose, collagen, polyimide, poly(L-lactide), poly e-caprolactone, nanomaterials, carbon nanotubes, graphene, polymer composites, and materials analysis and characterization. Prof. Seifalian has worked at the Royal Free Hospital and University College London for over 26 years. He has also spent time at Harvard Medical School looking at causes of cardiovascular diseases and a year at Johns Hopkins Medical School looking at treatment of the liver. He has published more than 647 peer-reviewed research papers, and registered 14 UK and International patents. In 2007, he was awarded the top prize in the field for the development of nanomaterials and technologies for cardiovascular implants by Medical Future Innovation, and in 2009 he received a Business Innovation Award from UK Trade & Investment (UKTI). He was the European Life Science Awards' Winner of Most Innovative New Product 2012 for the synthetic trachea . Prof. Seifalian won the Nanosmat Prize in 2013, and in 2016 he received the Distinguish Research Award in recognition of his outstanding work in regenerative medicine from Heals Healthy Life Extension Society. His achievements include development of the world first synthetic trachea, lacrimal drainage conduit, and vascular bypass graft using nanocomposite materials, bioactive molecules and stem cell technology. Prof. Seifalian is currently working on the development and commercialisation of human organs using graphene based nanocomposite materials and stem cells technology.
