Tehran, YJC. A Mashhad University Medical Sciences faculty member has registered 498 fungal genes in World Gene Bank.
Working in collaboration with researchers from the
Netherlands, Brazil and China, Javad Najafzadeh, faculty member of the Mashhad
University of Medical Sciences’ Department of Parasitology and Mycology ,
identified and registered fungal genes in World Gene Bank (NCBI).
Himself a select figure in Research and Technology Festival
of Mashhad University of Medical Sciences, stated that the patient can be
quickly returned to normal life conditions after the identification of the
fungus and disease reservoir as well as adopting appropriate treatment methods.
"Cooperation with universities in other countries began 5
years ago in a way that fungal tests received from the source of infection or
patients, are submitted to the international groups on which they perform
analysis and molecular research process,” Najafzadeh emphasized.
In 2013, Najafzadeh said, 13 ISI essays have been published
in journals with impact factor above 2. "Iranian researchers, in collaboration
with other universities in the world, have carried out many studies in the
field of rapid detection of molecular techniques, drug susceptibility testing
and phylogenetics,” Najafzadeh concluded.
