About the author
Dr. Tara Karimi has devoted her academic career to studying biological systems and applying the natural principles to create abiologically-inspired technology which mimics autonomous properties of biological systems. Dr. Karimi started her research in veterinary medicine and from there ventured into biochemistry. The introduction to biochemistry was the onset of her journey into multidisciplinary science. She went on to complete several projects in tissue and genetic engineering, molecular and developmental biology, stem cell research and regenerative medicine. This broad exposure and passion for the chemistry of living systems allowed Tara to connect the dots in biology and chemistry to pioneer what she calls Cognitive Chemistry. Dr. Karimi received her Doctorate in Veterinary Medicine and a Ph.D. in Biochemistry from Shiraz University. Furthermore, she obtained a Postdoc in Tissue Engineering from the University of South Carolina and another Postdoc in Stem CellProgramming from Tulane University.
