At the Pourmand Lab, our research centers on creating innovative technologies that advance the fields of biosensors and biotechnology. Our current work includes developing nanopipette-based biosensors for real-time, single-cell detection, as well as disposable biosensors designed for point-of-care diagnostics.
I contribute to research investigating the effects of psychedelics on neuroplasticity, with a focus on 5-HT2AR-expressing neurons to study the neural mechanisms underlying behavioral and synaptic changes.
Investigating HIF gene expression and its relation to circadian rhythm regulation within zebrafish models.
Synthesis of main group metalloporphyrins for use as a tunable Lewis acid catalyst, done in an effort to aid in the sustainability of chemical synthesis when used in place of precious metals used in catalysis today.
My research focuses on creating immiscible Ruthenium Copper alloy nanoparticles with good electrochemical activity for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER).
Investigating and aiming to better understand how MAPK activity regulates chromatin accessibility in ESCs (embryonic stem cells).
