Despite the major contribution of aortic aneurysm to mortality rate, its cause and pathogenesis reamains poorly undrestood. While diffuse dilation of the artery appears to be associated with aneurysm, the pathophysiology of aortic aneurysm is complex and warrants further investigation.

I am a medical graduated from Shahid Beheshty University of Tehran. I am intrested in the role of apoptosis and MMPs in the development of aortic anrurysm in human. Therefore, I decided to work on this project as a post graduate student.
