Biography

Dr. Amin Zakeri earned his Doctor of veterinary medicine (D.V.M) degree from Ferdowsi University of Mashhad, Iran. Amin performed his thesis in Immunology and Parasitology labs at the Faculty of veterinary medicine, Ferdowsi University of Mashhad, Iran (2014–2016), where he worked on the immunoregulatory functions of helminths on the murine model of asthma through targeting TLRs. In July 2016, he defended his thesis and graduated with D.V.M degree. His area of interest is innate immunity, asthma, and helminth-induced immunoregulatory mechanisms. Amin is the author of several scientific research and review publications.
