Mohammad Raftari completed his PhD in biotechnology and pursued advanced research in molecular biology and infectious disease control. Following his doctoral studies, he spent two years as a postdoctoral researcher at Universiti Putra Malaysia, where he worked on cutting-edge projects involving the creation of recombinant organisms. Mohammad then joined Stockholm University as a Researcher in the Department of Molecular Biology, further expanding his expertise in the molecular mechanisms of malaria parasite and vector control. In 2024, he joined the Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine (LSTM) as a Senior Researcher in the Department of Vector Biology, where he focuses on developing innovative strategies to block malaria parasite transmission.
