Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

Dr. Sara Hanaei started medicine at TUMS in 2010 and a Master of Public Health (MPH) in 2014. She graduated with MD-MPH in 2018. She also received TUMS Research Diploma (TUMS-RD) in a 2-year study period from 2013-2015. She was a research assistant at the Research Center for Immunodeficiencies (RCID) from 2018-2021 and further continued neurosurgery as a clinical specialty at TUMS in 2021. She has experience in teaching research skills to students. Medical research was one of her greatest interests since the beginning of her academic education, especially in Neurosurgery and Immunology, therefore, she started research in those fields. Over the past decade, she contributed to different research projects, books, and other research activities including instructing research workshops in statistics, systematic reviews, and meta-analysis. She also got involved in executive tasks and developed executive skills in organizing scientific events, congresses, festivals, scoring, rankings, etc. She also co-edited a 2-volume book: - Human Brain and Spinal Cord Tumors: From Bench to Bedside. Volume 1 (Neuroimmunology and Neurogenetics) - Human Brain and Spinal Cord Tumors: From Bench to Bedside. Volume 2 (The Path to Bedside Management). In early 2024, she co-founded Borderless Research, Advancement, and Innovation in Neuroscience Network (BRAINet), which was intended to serve in a multidisciplinary and cross-disciplinary manner and embrace all aspects of neuroscience. On this account, different disciplines in neuroscience may come together in the BRAINet including theoretical and molecular neuroscience, clinical neuroscience (neurology), surgical neuroscience (neurosurgery), and social neuroscience. In the light of the borderless collaboration of seniors and juniors, it is provisioned to promote scientific activities and step forward to advancement and innovation in neuroscience.
