Parastoo received her bachelor’s degree in Pure Chemistry from Tehran University. Afterwards, she continued her studies at the University of Birmingham, where she obtained her master’s degree in Biochemical Engineering and PhD in Tissue Engineering of bone and cartilage. After her PhD, Parastoo joined the AMPLab group to explore the applications of 3D printing in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. She has extensively studied the relationship between properties of biomaterials (physical and mechanical) and their biological response, cell cultures, tissue engineering, and additive manufacturing techniques for fabrication of metal and ceramic medical implants. Her research focuses on utilising the design flexibility of additive manufacturing in healthcare to fabricate patient-specific implants. Parastoo frequently participates in conferences, including the World Biomaterials Congress, The annual conference of the UK society for biomaterials and Materials Science & Technology Conference.

Biography

Parastoo holds a PhD in Biomedical engineering from the University of Birmingham (2014), BSc from Tehran University and MSc degrees from the University of Birmingham in Biochemical engineering. Presently, she works as a postdoctoral research fellow at the University of Birmingham, school of Metallurgy and Materials since April 2014.

Her research experience over the past 8 years was with an excellent background in multiple scientific disciplines including material science, relationship between biomaterial properties (physical and mechanical) and their biological response (biomedical engineering) and biochemical engineering as well as the development of near net shape manufacturing techniques such additive manufacturing techniques to fabricate metal and ceramic medical implants. After her PhD in tissue engineering of bone and cartilage, Parastoo joined Advanced Materials and Processing Laboratory (AMPLab) group to explore the application of 3D printing in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. Her research focuses on the utilising of the design flexibility of the additive manufacturing techniques in healthcare to fabricate patient- specific implants. Dr Jamshidi currently works on an EPSRC funded project entitled Smart Peripheral Stents for the Lower Extremity- Design, Manufacturing and Evaluation.
