Roya Hooshmand Rad

Director of Membership

Born in Tehran, I was raised in Iran and Scotland, and graduated from Medical School in Uppsala, Sweden in 1993. I received my Ph.D. in Molecular Cell Biology in 1999 from the Ludwig Institute for Cancer research, Uppsala Branch, Sweden. I moved to San Diego in June of 1999 as a postdoctoral fellow and am continuing as such till present.

I have been a passive member of the AIAP for three years now. I would like to return their services by becoming an active participant. I wish to help continue making our Iranian community a culturally rich and diverse one where the talents of our countrymen and women may flourish.
