Assistant Professor
Maryam Vaziri serves as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Biological Sciences within the Faculty of Science at Concordia University of Edmonton. Her research program bridges molecular plant physiology and ecological applications, with emphasis on stress adaptation mechanisms in plant systems. Her educational background includes: PhD in Plant Physiology, University of Alberta MSc in Plant Physiology, University of Alberta MSc in Plant Physiology, Shahid Beheshti University BSc in Biology, Alzahra University Dr. Vaziri's research focuses on environmental physiology of plants with specialized expertise in plant-microbe interactions , plant water relations , and salinity effects . A central pillar of her work examines aquaporins as critical regulators of water transport under abiotic stress, particularly in halophytic grasses. Her studies integrate molecular biology with field applications for ecological restoration. Analysis of her 2018-2025 publications reveals consistent investigation of salinity tolerance mechanisms in northern grass species, especially Puccinellia nuttalliana . Her research demonstrates how aquaporin-mediated water transport and microbial symbioses enhance plant survival in saline environments, with direct applications for oil sands reclamation projects. No scientific awards are documented in her current faculty profile. Her academic advising activities and research grant history are not specified in the available materials. Research laboratory infrastructure and team composition details are not provided in the institutional profile.
