I’m Amir, a research staff in the Hoshino laboratory interested in translational research to improve human health. I have taken my PhD under the supervision of Prof. Andrew Hill at La Trobe University in Australia. The research focus of my PhD was on pairing miRNA with Extracellular vesicles mimetic-nanovesicle to develop a novel therapeutic for Alzheimer’s disease. In 2021 I joined the laboratory of Assoc Prof. Ayuko Hoshino at the Tokyo Institute of Technology in Japan. I am working toward understanding how Extracellular vesicles mediate feto-maternal communications and how this could affect embryonic brain development, and if disruption of this inter-organ communication could be the onset of some pathophysiological conditions such as Autism. I have been actively involved in the scientific community, and I am the president of the student network on extracellular vesicles (SNEV). Outside of the pipette world, I enjoy spending time with people and learning about a new culture. I like walking through backstreets, photography with my new toy FujiFilm-X100V “Tokyo”, travelling, fusion cooking inspired by my adventures and enjoying music from all around the world.

I joined Hoshino Lab as a researcher in April 2024. I have been engaged in clinical practice as an urologist, and I aim to clarify unknown areas of urological diseases through exosome research. I love beer and plan to visit brewery pubs in Tokyo, too.

I work as a technical assistant in the Hoshino laboratory. I have a passion for photography and love going for a jog during the sunrise. Additionally, I am a big fan of Japanese cuisine and sweets. On weekends, I like to visit new shrines and collect Goshuin.
