He joined the Hematology, Oncology and BMT Research Center in 2000 as a principal investigator and Royan Institutefor Stem Cell Biology and Technology in 2006. Dr. Aghdami's research has focused on the development of cardiovascular development, translational research, and the role of stem cells in tissue regeneration.   Since 2008, he is the Head of the Department of Regenerative Medicine and Royan Cell Therapy Center. In this regard, clinical trial design and performance is one of his responsibilities. He has served on numerous national grant review committees, advisory panels and editorial boards related to stem cells, clinical trials, and cell therapy. Dr. Aghdami has published 21 international and 10 national peer-reviewed papers, as well as three chapters in international books, two books in Farsi, and translated one book into Farsi.
