Dr. Taraneh Javanbakht's expertise and works are in all the branches of chemistry, such as physical chemistry, analytical chemistry, organic chemistry, inorganic chemistry and biochemistry.

She received her first Ph.D. degree in chemistry from the Pierre and Marie Curie University (Paris 6) in 2002. She did her first Ph.D. thesis research in the laboratory of biomolecular and cellular physico-chemistry (LPBC) at the Pierre and Marie Curie University. Her first Ph.D. thesis was on the minimally modification of the natural oligonucleotides in the antisense strategy.

The results of her research works were published in two journals:

- Biochemical Pharmacology 7518, 1-8 (2003) (this article is available here in pdf format)

The online version of this article on the NCBI (Pubmed) website is available here.

- Antisense and Nucleic Acid Drug Development 11, 129-136 (2001) (this article is available here in pdf format).

The online version of this article on the NCBI (Pubmed) website is available here.

Her work in her Ph.D. thesis in chemistry revealed that the mechanism of the enzymatic attack on the antisense oligonucleotides depended on the cell type and the chemical modification of oligonucleotides increased their half-life in cells and cell lysates.

Her works were also published in Biomedical Society Transactions in 2000. You can find this paper here.

Her other work on the correlation between physicochemical properties of superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles and their reactivity with hydrogen peroxide was published in the Canadian Journal of Chemistry in 2020. This paper in available here.

Dr. Taraneh Javanbakht has co-supervised several research projects in chemistry at the Ecole Polytechnique of Montreall.
