Dr Mahnaz Ramezanpour is a biomedical researcher that completed her PhD in medical biotechnology in 2015 at Flinders University, Australia and authored > 42 peer-reviewed articles and 1 book chapter. Her research program largely focuses on evaluating causes of chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS), identifying new diagnostic markers and treatment strategies to the benefit of CRS patients. She collaborates widely in multidisciplinary teams of scientists, clinicians and industry partners to ensure a real-world impact of her work. She collaborated with two large biotech companies, investigating the effect of several of their commercial products on the mucosal barrier function. As lead investigator, her research has led to the development of new soon to be released medical treatments for CRS.Recently, she is using the state-of-the-art stem cell and organoid technologies for establishing airway organoids. The stem cell based organoid technology allows the culturing and expansion of a patient’s own cells in vitro in order to test and select the most effective and least toxic drug combination. She has established and characterized the nasal organoids derived from CRS patients. She is using cells, macrophages, and clinical bacteria isolates from CRS patients to evaluate and compare the effective capacity and immune response pathways of infection in the nasal organoids. Her research focus is on developing effective treatments against CRS patients and translating them from the lab to real-life applications.Available projects for HDR, Honours and 3rd Year students in 2022 include:1) Investigating new therapeutic targets to personalise treatment for CRS patients with recurrent disease.2) The use of nasal organoids as a valid alternative model for lung organoids.
