Barry and Judy Silverman College of Pharmacy
Fort Lauderdale/Davie
Dr. Yadollah Omidi joined Nova Southeastern University College of Pharmacy in August
2020 to work as a full professor of pharmaceutical sciences.
Dr. Omidi obtained his Ph.D. degree in the field of brain drug delivery and targeting
from Cardiff University, United Kingdom, in 2003 and his Pharm.D. degree from Tabriz
University of Medical Sciences (TUOMS), Iran, in 1991. He has completed a postdoctoral
research associate program, studying gene-based nanomedicines and toxicogenomics at
Cardiff University School of Pharmacy. As a professor of drug delivery and targeting,
Dr. Omidi has several years of experience in teaching different subjects of pharmaceutical
sciences and supervising Pharm.D., M.Sc., Ph.D., and M.D. students. He acted as the
founding director of the TUOMS Research Center for Pharmaceutical Nanotechnology.
He is the founding Editor-in-Chief of Bioimpacts, and also serves on the editorial board of several international journals, including
Nanomedicine, Biologicals, DARU Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences, and BMC Pharmacology and Toxicology.
Dr. Omidi is a collaborator of several scientists from the U.S., and Europe. In 2011,
he joined the Ovarian Cancer Research Center at the University of Pennsylvania (United
States) as a visiting associate professor to undertake translational research towards
the development of multifunctional nanomedicines and theranostics for targeted therapy
of ovarian cancer with a particular focus on drug targeting of the tumor microenvironment.
Dr. Omidi's research interests are focused on different areas of pharmaceutical sciences,
including drug delivery and targeting, multifunctional nanomedicines and theranostics,
biological membranes and barriers, vaccines and immunotherapeutics, nanobiomaterials
for cell/tissue engineering, and diagnostic nanobiosystems. Since 2003, Dr. Omidi
has published over 330 papers in peer-reviewed international journals. He is also
the author of 30 book chapters and the recipient of several teaching and research
awards. Listed among the top 1% of scientists worldwide by the ESI-WoS, he has an
h-index of 65 and an i10-index of 251 with over 14550 citations. Click the following
