International Center for Neuroscience Research

Ali Fereidouni is a biomedical researcher with a BSc in Medical Laboratory Sciences and an MSc in Medical Biotechnology. Since 2023, he has worked at the International Center for Neuroscience Research (ICNR), first as a Research Assistant in the Neurochemistry of Neurodegenerative Disease group and now as Innovation Project Manager. His research interests focus on neuropharmacology and neurochemistry, especially GPCR signaling, trafficking, and receptor crosstalk, and how these pathways shape synaptic plasticity, neuroinflammation, and myelin-related mechanisms in neurodegeneration. He is particularly interested in GPCR pharmacology (including allosteric modulation, bitopic ligands, and biased signaling across G-protein vs β-arrestin pathways), as well as metabolism–inflammation links via lipid-mediated neurotransmission and related receptor families. Ali brings a strong wet-lab skill set across molecular, cellular, and biochemical methods, with emphasis on careful documentation, validation, and data interpretation. In his current role, he oversees multidisciplinary research from idea to delivery, coordinating timelines, collaborators, and funding to support high-impact outcomes. He also draws on prior pharmaceutical industry experience across R&D and QA/QC, strengthening his ability to design robust workflows with an accuracy/precision mindset and a translation-oriented, product-aware perspective.
