Welcome Parsa!

We are so excited to introduce our Summer Research Assistant, Parsa Seyfourian. He recently graduated from the University of British Columbia where he worked on identifying the behavioural dynamics of mosquito larvae. “These diseases still present significant gaps in our scientific understanding of them, and our clinical understanding of properly diagnosing, treating, and managing individuals who might possess these diseases,” said Parsa. He will be working in the dry lab this summer using computational tools to make discoveries in nephrotic syndrome research.

Meet Parsa Seyfourian

Parsa is Summer Research Assistant focusing on a computational approach to pediatric nephrotic syndrome research. Parsa recently graduated with my Bachelors of Science in Honors Biology from the University of British Columbia. For his Honors Thesis, he worked on identifying the behavioural dynamics of mosquito larvae under salt concentration as a global environmental stressor. Parsa’s main passion lies in deriving biological meaning from large data sets by using computational tools.
