Yas Heidari obtained her Ph.D.
in 2003 from King’s College London, University of London, on identification and characterisation of a novel isoform of the NADPH oxidase enzyme complex, involved in immune defence and cell signalling.
She received a Wellcome Trust fellowship grant to pursue her post doctoral studies at Centre for Inflammatory Diseases, Imperial College London, where she studied genes that may be implicated in the onset of the autoimmune disease systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE).
After leaving research, Yas spent 8 years at Thermo Fisher Scientific in various commercial roles and departments gaining experience of the biotech sector.
Yas joined Bio-Techne in 2019 as Product Manager for the Cell and Protein biology portfolio, overseeing a range of reagents and technologies for Europe and emerging markets.
Her role is focused on helping the team to support our customers’ applications, where she aspires to use her experience and skills to help advance regenerative medicine through innovative product introductions, and partnerships with stem cell & organoid networks, academia, and
industry.
