Profile Summary

Hello, and thank you for visiting my profile! I’m Fateme Pourhatami, PharmD, and I’m delighted to share my journey in pharmaceutical sciences with you. My passion for drug formulation and delivery began when I enrolled in the PharmD program at Islamic Azad University–Tehran Medical Sciences Branch in February 2015. Over the next six and a half years, I immersed myself in laboratory research, clinical practice, and interdisciplinary collaboration. I graduated in November 2021 with a deep appreciation for pharmacy's art and science. One of my earliest research experiences was the Chitosan/Fe₃O₄ Magnetic Nanoparticle Project. I synthesized biocompatible chitosan-coated iron oxide nanoparticles and developed robust HPLC-UV and UV–Vis spectroscopy methods to detect trace pharmaceutical compounds. I carefully characterized nanoparticle size, surface charge, and drug-loading efficiency—critical parameters to ensure reliable analytical performance at microgram-per-liter levels. This work instilled in me a meticulous approach to experimental design and method validation. Building on that foundation, I led the Nano Adsorbents Research initiative, where I engineered electrospun PET nanofibers for Ritalin adsorption from aqueous samples. We produced highly uniform fibers with exceptional surface area by optimizing electrospinning parameters—voltage, polymer concentration, and flow rate. I confirmed adsorption capacities using LC-MS and then harnessed Python-based machine-learning algorithms to predict fiber performance under varying conditions. This project perfectly blended hands-on material science with computational modeling, and I took particular pride in merging wet-lab experimentation with data-driven insights. My interest in translational pharmacology led me to collaborate on a Drug Repurposing Study focused on Simvastatin and Doxepin in a rat model of levodopa-induced dyskinesia. I designed behavioral assays (AIMS tests), collected pharmacodynamic data, and performed statistical analyses with GraphPad Prism. Co-authoring the manuscript taught me how to interpret complex biological outcomes and craft clear, compelling narratives for publication. It was incredibly rewarding to see how two unrelated medications could potentially improve neurological side effects in Parkinson’s treatment. Earlier in my career, I addressed a major public-health challenge by leading an Antimicrobial Resistance project. I collected clinical isolates of ESBL-producing Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae from urinary tract infections and performed disk-diffusion susceptibility testing. I then managed and analyzed the data in SPSS and LISREL, identifying resistance patterns that could inform antibiotic stewardship programs. This work reinforced my commitment to rigorous data management and its vital role in guiding evidence-based healthcare decisions. My PharmD thesis brought all these experiences together. I developed an Intra-Company Peptide API Technology-Transfer Model, collaborating with industry partners to streamline peptide manufacturing workflows. I applied SPSS and LISREL for process validation and presented my findings to senior management, honing my ability to communicate technical results to diverse audiences and align laboratory innovations with organizational goals. Beyond laboratory research, I’m passionate about scientific writing and editing. I have published in the Galen Medical Journal and Journal of Critical Reviews, and I take pride in transforming complex data into concise, persuasive articles that advance knowledge and inform practice. I excel in crafting clear protocols, grant proposals, and peer-reviewed manuscripts. My core technical skills include: Electrospinning: designing and optimizing nanofiber-based adsorbents HPLC-UV and LC-MS analysis: developing quantitative assays for drug detection Statistical & data analysis: SPSS, LISREL, GraphPad Prism Python-driven machine learning: building predictive models for adsorption and formulation performance Scientific communication: writing, editing, and presenting research findings What truly excites me is collaborating across disciplines—whether integrating AI into formulation development, mentoring students in laboratory techniques, or co-authoring interdisciplinary grant applications. I thrive in environments where curiosity, creativity, and scientific rigor come together to solve real-world problems. Thank you for taking the time to learn about my background and research interests. I look forward to connecting, sharing ideas, and exploring opportunities to advance pharmaceutical science and improve patient outcomes together.
