Dr Amin Hassan-Zadeh is a Postdoctoral Research Fellow within the nanosensors group at the School of Natural Sciences at Macquarie University. He is interested in multidisciplinary research using microfluidics to develop cutting edge diagnostics and therapeutic systems. Before joining Macquarie, he was a Mitacs Elevate postdoctoral Fellow at the University of British Columbia and Amgen-British Columbia in Vancouver, Canada where he developed a high throughput technique for single B cell screening towards accelarted antibody discovery.

He received his PhD from the University of New South Wales. At UNSW he developed microfluidic capillary systems for cell confinement enabling tracking the dynamic behavior of cells at the tissue and single cell levels. His research has led to understand the cell-cell interaction and intercellular heterogeneity in disease such as Cancer, Myocardial Infarction, and neurodegenerative disease. His work to date has been published in top-tier journals including Lab Chip, ACS Sensors, and Biosensors & Bioelectronics. He is currently a topical advisory panel for the journal Micromachines. 

At Macquarie University, he is working on Cancer NSW funded project on the development of integrated microfluidic-nanomaterial platforms for 1) multi-omics analysis of extracellular vesicles for real-time monitoring of patient treatment in breast cancer and 2) multi-omics analysis of exosomes in host-pathogen interaction at the single cell level to understand how the molecular features of exosomes.
