Nader Rahimi

Nader Rahimi (born December 22, 1963) is an Iranian born Molecular Biologist. He is currently Associate Professor at the Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine at Boston University.https://www.bumc.bu.edu/busm-pathology/people_main/nader-rahimi-phd/. Google Scholar Page. 
== Education ==
Nader Rahimi received his Bachelor of Science degree in Biochemistry from the University of Toronto in 1991 and received his Ph.D. from Queen's University, Kingston, Canada in 1996. He completed his postdoctoral fellowship at Harvard Medical School in the fields of signal transduction and angiogenesis.
== Career ==
Nader Rahimi has extensively published in the field of signal transduction by receptor tyrosine kinases in particular VEGF receptor tyrosine kinases. His notable works include demonstration of differential function of VEGFR-1 and VEGFR-2 in angiogenesis, identification of lysine methylation as a novel mechanism of activation of VEGFR-2, establishing protein ubiquitination as a major pathway modulating the angiogenic signaling of VEGFR-2https://www.researchgate.net/publication/38085465_A_role_for_protein_ubiquitination_in_BEGFR-2_signaling_and_angiogenesishttps://www.pnas.org/content/104/13/5413. He is also responsible for the discovery of multiple cell surface receptors including, IGPR-1https://www.jbc.org/content/early/2019/07/24/jbc.RA119.008548.full.pdf, TMIGD1, MINAR1 and MINAR2https://academic.oup.com/braincomms/article/2/1/fcaa047/5823289. His work on COVID-19 resulted in the discovery of CD209L and CD209 as novel receptors for SARS-COV-2https://www.mdpi.com/2073-4409/9/7/1652
