MAJOR CAREER OBJECTIVES
A: To take a “holistic systems approach” to diseases (the metabolic
syndrome, type 2 diabetes mellitus, osteoporosis and atherosclerosis)
by applying the principles of complexity and systems medicine in a
multidisciplinary environment. I agree with the idea that “disease
arises from disease-perturbed networks and the resulting altered
molecular machinery encoded by the disease-perturbed networks
leads to the pathophysiology of the disease”. Hence, I will try to
integrate biological and molecular information obtained from disease
–perturbed networks and pathways with clinical information in order

to translate into efficient and reliable decision support systems for
health care.
B: To extract and purify bioactive agents (anti-cancer, anti-infective,
anti-osteoporotic, anti-diabetic and immunomodulatory compounds)
from marine organisms of the Persian Gulf. I published the textbook
of Marine Medicine for the first time in Iran and established the
unique marine medical biotechnology research center and PhD
courses in Marine Toxinology and Marine Microbiology for the first
time in Iran
C: To integrate molecular imaging technology with metabolomics for
interpretation of molecular and cellular processes in the metabolic
syndrome and atherosclerosis
To illustrate the achievements of the brilliant Islamic civilization in
clinical sciences
D: Foresight studies on science and technology in order to design
strategies for progress of science and technology in the developing
countries. I published 6 books about techniques of forecasting of
science and technology and the future of medicine.
E: To conduct large population-based, prospective cohort studies in
aging, cardiovascular and metabolic disorders. I have been already
the major investigator of large population-based, prospective cohort
studies in aging, cardiovascular and metabolic disorders at national
and regional levels [e.g. The Persian Gulf Healthy Heart Study
(Supported by EMRO/WHO, Iranian Multicentral Osteoporosis study,
Bushehr Eldery Program)].
