Dr. Roghaieh Holghoomi | Plant Physiology | Editorial Board Member
Postdoc Researcher at Mazandaran University | Iran
Dr. Roghaieh Holghoomi is an accomplished Plant Physiology and Biotechnology researcher from Iran whose scientific work bridges plant physiology, nanobiotechnology, secondary metabolite engineering, and advanced plant molecular responses. She earned her Ph.D. in Plant Physiology from Urmia University with a distinguished dissertation investigating the effects of multi-walled carbon nanotubes on the secondary metabolites of basil, under the mentorship of leading experts in plant physiology and horticulture. Her academic journey includes an M.Sc. in Plant Physiology and a B.Sc. in General Biology from the University of Mohaghegh Ardabili, where she developed strong foundations in plant sciences. She has contributed extensively to interdisciplinary research through postdoctoral collaborations on carbon-based nanoparticles as stimulators of plant metabolite production at the Cellular and Molecular Laboratory of Mazandaran University, as well as international scientific cooperation with Paco Calvo’s cognitive science research group at Universidad de Murcia and with Dr. Pedro Martínez-Gómez at CEBAS-CSIC in Spain, where she engaged in plant transcriptomics and genomics research. Her publication record includes impactful contributions on green synthesis of nanomaterials, nanoparticle-delivered bioactive compounds, biocompatible nanotechnology applications in plant biotechnology, plant nutation dynamics, carbon nanotube elicitor effects on basil physiology, biomedical applications of biowaste-derived nanomaterials, silica nanoparticle biosynthesis, drought stress biochemistry, antioxidant system activation, and plant-derived metabolites for therapeutic applications. She has authored and contributed to scientific books and book chapters in cutting-edge fields such as AI-based cancer diagnostics, green nanomaterials, and plant biotechnology. Alongside her research, she has taught plant physiology and biotechnology courses at multiple Iranian universities and has actively reviewed manuscripts for high-impact journals. Her expertise spans plant tissue culture, molecular docking, greenhouse experimentation, HPLC and GC techniques, nanoparticle synthesis and characterization, qPCR, physiological and biochemical assays, and essential oil extraction. Fluent in multiple languages and deeply passionate about medicinal plant biotechnology, nanobiotechnology, genomics, and proteomics, Roghaieh Holghoomi continues to advance innovative research at the intersection of plant science and nanotechnology.
