Sara Dolatyabi

Accomplished scientist with extensive experience in higher education and private research laboratories and clinics, specializing in Molecular Microbiology, Cellular Biology, Immunology, and Vaccine Development. Holds a Ph.D. in Animal and Veterinary Science from the University of Tehran. Renowned for pioneering preventive strategies in food animal health, such as vaccination, to significantly reduce the reliance on antibiotics. My work is driven by a profound commitment to enhancing animal welfare and safeguarding public health, with a particular focus on its critical implications for human health in the United States.
