Abdolmohamad Rostami

Abdolmohamad Rostami serves as Chair of the Department of Neurology and holds the Nicholas J. Maiale Distinguished Professorship at the Vickie Jack Farber Institute for Neuroscience, Thomas Jefferson University, with primary affiliation at Sidney Kimmel Medical College and Thomas Jefferson University Hospital.

His academic background includes:

• Medical School: Shiraz University
• Residency: Hospital of University of Pennsylvania (HUP)
• Fellowship: Hospital of University of Pennsylvania (HUP)
• Board Certification: Neurology

Dr. Rostami's research centers on Multiple Sclerosis pathogenesis using experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) models, with three core focuses: IL-12/IL-17/IL-23 cytokine axis mechanisms in neuroinflammation, Bowman-Birk protease inhibitor therapeutics, and intravenous tolerance induction. His work bridges fundamental immunology with clinical translation for autoimmune CNS disorders.

Recent publications reveal strong trends in neuroimmune crosstalk, emphasizing cytokine networks (GM-CSF, IL-7Rα, IL-37), T cell regulation, and extracellular vesicle applications for neurological conditions, demonstrating consistent innovation in autoimmune disease mechanisms and therapeutic targeting.

His scientific recognition includes:

• Nicholas J. Maiale Distinguished Professorship

No specific information was provided regarding student mentorship or active research grants in the source material.

He leads investigative efforts at the Vickie Jack Farber Institute for Neuroscience, directing laboratory research on autoimmune neuroinflammation and novel therapeutic approaches for demyelinating diseases.
