Dr Sara Hooshmand, PostDoc Researcher
Sara Hooshmand is a postdoctoral researcher in Nanotechnology Research and Application Center (SUNUM), Sabanci University, Istanbul, Turkey. She has obtained both her MSc and PhD in Analytical Chemistry and has been working on the development of various modified green and chemical nanosorbents and bioelectro-nanosensors for detection and quantification of trace amounts of anticancer drugs in biological samples using novel microextraction techniques. She has also worked on evaluating the protective effects of different plant extracts in rat models of hepatocellular carcinoma and type-2 diabetes during her first postdoc in Pharmacological Research Center of Medicinal Plants, Mashhad University of Medical Sciences, Mashhad, Iran. Currently, her research interests include nanosensors, sol-gel based optical sensors, microextraction techniques, nanobioactive glasses, herbonanoceuticals, drug-delivery, cancer therapy and animal model research.
