Shahrzad Ezzatpour, PhD

PHD-trained microbiologist and immunologist with a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine (DVM), offering integrated expertise in virology, immunology, and comparative medicine. Specialized in the development and execution of in vitro and in vivo models to evaluate vaccine immunogenicity, antiviral efficacy, and pharmacokinetics. Extensive experience working in BSL-3 and ABSL-3 environments with pathogens, including SARS-CoV-2, MERS-CoV, Avian Influenza (H5N1), and other pseudotyped viruses such as Nipah, Hendra, and Ebola. Technical proficiencies include reverse genetics, multicolor flow cytometry, pseudotyped virus systems, and immune profiling.


Contributed to high-impact research programs at globally recognized institutions such as Cornell University with a focus on translational virology, vaccine and therapeutic development, and zoonotic disease modeling. Demonstrated leadership in high-containment laboratory operations, preclinical study design, and regulatory protocol development. Current research at Cornell University centers on multivalent and pseudotyped vaccine platforms and broad-spectrum antiviral strategies targeting emerging viral threats, with emphasis on cross-species viral immunopathogenesis and translational immunoengineering. Research vision is grounded in advancing globally relevant solutions for the development of next-generation vaccines and antiviral therapeutics. Our integrated tech stack is designed to accelerate discovery and delivery—meeting global demand for high-performance biopharmaceuticals that serve both human and animal health.

Dr Mohammad Davachi, PhD

Experienced research leader with over 15 years of expertise in biodegradable polymer synthesis, nanocomposite engineering, and biomedical materials development. Specialized in the design, processing, and characterization of multifunctional polymer systems, including triblock copolymers, nano-biocomposites, and drug-loaded microparticles for medical, pharmaceutical, and environmental applications.  

Held academic and research positions in both Iran and the United States, with a focus on tissue engineering scaffolds, sutures, and micro/nano-encapsulation platforms. Demonstrated leadership in polymer process development from bench to pilot scale, with extensive experience in polymer synthesis and processing as well as microfluidics. Currently serving as Assistant Professor at Texas A&M International University, leading federally and industrially funded research on bioresorbable nanocomposites for surgical and regenerative medicine.
