Morteza Roodgar DVM, PhD
Veterinarian Research Scientist, Genetics
BioDr. Morteza Roodgar is a veterinarian scientist with a research focus on Primate induced Pluripotent Stem Cells (iPSCs) and long-read genomics tools.
Dr. Roodgar's research focus is on primate stem cell biology, immunology, and comparative genomics of nonhuman primate models for human diseases. The long-term goal of Dr. Roodgar's research is to Replace, Reduce and Refine (aka 3 R’s) the use of animals in biomedical research leveraging primate induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) and long-read genomic tools to speed up preclinical testing.
Previous research includes immunology and genomic susceptibility to infectious diseases (e.g., tuberculosis, TB) in nonhuman primate models, Preventive Veterinary Medicine and emerging zoonotic diseases (e.g., COVID-19 and Monkeypox).
