Suzan Farhang-Sardroodi
Department of Pharmacology and Toxicology
Temerty Faculty of Medicine, University of Toronto
I am a Research Associate in the Department of Pharmacology and Toxicology at the University of Toronto. I received my Ph.D. in Physics from the University of Zanjan (Iran) and completed an exchange semester in the Department of Applied Mathematics at the University of Waterloo (Waterloo, Ontario, Canada). I pursued postdoctoral research in quantitative oncology at the Biomathematics and Fluids Group at Toronto Metropolitan University, and in computational immunology at the Departments of Mathematics and Statistics at York University (supervised by Dr. Jane Heffernan and Dr. Iain Moyles, Toronto, Ontario, Canada), the University of Manitob (Winnipeg, Manitoba), and Université de Montréal (supervised by Dr. Morgan Craig, Montréal, Québec, Canada).

Research Interests
Brain Health, Mental Health, and Aging
My research focuses on the genetic and molecular mechanisms underlying brain health and mental health across the lifespan. By integrating statistical genetics, single-cell genomics, and computational biology, I investigate how reproductive aging, hormonal transitions, and other biological processes influence substance use disorders, psychiatric disorders, cognition, and neurological health. My work aims to identify biologically informed therapeutic targets and advance precision medicine approaches for brain health, with a particular interest in the biological connections among menopause, mental health, addiction, cognitive aging, Alzheimer's disease, and women's health conditions such as breast and ovarian cancer.
