Ahmad Sobhani Najafabadi completed his Bachelor's degree in Agricultural Engineering - Agronomy and Plant Breeding in 2006. He then received his Master's degree in Agricultural Biotechnology from the University of Zabol. During his Master's program, he investigated the metabolome of endophytic fungi and succeeded in identifying variants with high production of Loline and low levels of Ergot alkaloids. In 2016, he completed his Ph.D. in Agricultural Biotechnology at the University of Tehran, during which he studied the metabolome and transcriptome (using RNA-seq) of the medicinal plant Ferula gummosa. Identifying genes and miRNAs involved in the terpene biosynthesis pathway was among the achievements of this period. From 2017, he collaborated as a postdoctoral researcher with the Research Institute for Biotechnology of Secondary Metabolites for three years, during which he succeeded in producing new hairy root lines and developing disposable bioreactors for the cultivation of plant cells and organs. Since 2020, he has been collaborating with the institute as a scientific advisor and subsequently as a faculty member.
