Maryam Shariatzadeh

Maryam has over 15 years of translational research experience including 5 years within commercial projects on advanced therapies. These projects focused on the development of scalable manufacturing processes for T cell, stem cell and hPSC based technology, gaining expertise in the differentiation and expansion of cells, their scale up and transfer back to CDMO's.

She worked as a Post-doctoral Research Associate in Biomechanics groups at University of Sheffield and held roles as Senior Researcher and Project lead on various projects at Centre for Biological Engineering (Loughborough University), collaborating with several academic and industrial partners including 1-Stem institute, Fraunhofer Institute for Biomedical Engineering FhG-IBMT and NIBSC on development and optimisation of scalable bio-processes for the manutacturing of pluripotent stem cell products, product and procesS release criteria and cost-effective scalable banking and assessment of the comparability of these processes when executed at multiple sites.

Maryam received her PharmD from Tehran University of Medical Sciences and a Master's degree in Biotechnology form University of Manchester and holds a PhD in Tissue Engineering and Biopharmaceutical Science from University of Sheffield.
