World-Renowned Immunologist Prof. Dr. Nima Rezaei to Deliver Public Lecture for NVCFI Medical Technology Students and Faculty The Medical Technology Department of North Valley College Foundation, Inc. (NVCFI)

NVCFI is set to host an extraordinary academic event as internationally acclaimed immunologist and physician-scientist Prof. Dr. Nima Rezaei, M.D, PhD delivers a special public lecture entitled “Translational Approach to Inborn Errors of Immunity: From Bench to Bedside.” The lecture will bring together Medical Technology students, faculty members, healthcare professionals, and invited guests for an enriching academic engagement that explores one of the most rapidly advancing fields in laboratory medicine and clinical immunology. Through this lecture, participants will gain valuable insights into how discoveries in basic science are translated into clinical applications that improve the diagnosis, treatment, and management of patients with inborn errors of immunity. This landmark academic activity reflects the Medical Technology Department’s commitment to providing globally relevant learning experiences that complement classroom instruction with international perspectives. Under the leadership of Ms. Myra Corneja, RMT, MSMT (Cand.), Associate Dean of the Medical Technology Department, the department continues to strengthen its academic leadership by creating opportunities for students and faculty to engage directly with internationally recognized experts whose work has shaped contemporary medical science. The lecture also reinforces NVCFI’s commitment to internationalization and academic excellence by exposing future medical technologists to current developments in translational medicine, precision diagnostics, and evidence-based healthcare. Such initiatives equip students with a broader scientific perspective while inspiring them to pursue research, innovation, and lifelong learning in the ever-evolving field of laboratory medicine. Prof. Rezaei is widely recognized as one of the world’s foremost authorities in clinical immunology, allergy, and inborn errors of immunity. He serves as Professor of Clinical Immunology and Allergy at the Tehran University of Medical Sciences, one of the Middle East’s premier medical universities and a globally respected institution for medical education and research. A prolific scholar, Prof. Rezaei has authored and co-authored hundreds of scientific publications in high-impact international journals and has edited numerous authoritative textbooks on immunology, allergy, and inborn errors of immunity. His research has significantly advanced the understanding of immune system disorders, particularly in the areas of disease mechanisms, genetics, early diagnosis, and personalized treatment approaches. Beyond his extensive publication record, Prof. Rezaei has led and collaborated on numerous international research initiatives involving scientists and clinicians across the globe. His work integrates laboratory discoveries with patient care, making him a leading advocate of translational medicine—an approach that bridges scientific research and clinical practice to improve health outcomes. His research interests include clinical immunology, primary immunodeficiency, immune dysregulation, autoimmunity, genetics, systems immunology, precision medicine, and translational research. Through his contributions, he has helped shape global standards in the diagnosis and management of rare immune disorders while mentoring the next generation of clinician-scientists. The Medical Technology Department considers this public lecture a milestone in its continuing pursuit of academic excellence and global engagement.
