Zeinab Hosseinidoust is an associate professor in chemical and biomedical engineering and the Canada Research Chair in Bacteriophage Bioengineering. She obtained her PhD from McGill University with Dr. Nathalie Tufenkji (Tier 1 CRC in biocolloids) and Dr. Theo van de Ven (Sir William C. Macdonald Chair in Chemistry) and completed her postdoctoral training at the Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems in Stuttgart, Germany with Dr. Metin Sitti as a CIHR fellow. Hosseinidust obtained over 12 scholarships/fellowships and awards during her doctoral and postdoctoral training. She joined the Chemical Engineering Department at McMaster University in July 2016. She is an associate member of the School of Biomedical Engineering, Institute for Infectious Disease Research, David Braley Centre for Antibiotic Discovery, Farncombe Institute for Digestive Health, and the Centre of Excellence for Protective Equipment and Materials. Zeinab is also an associate editor for the Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering. Her research program focuses on responding to global biological threats by using bacteriophages (bacterial viruses. Zeinab currently focus on antibiotic-resistant bacterial infections and airborne viral infections. Technologies developed by her team at McMaster have gained recognition from academia, industry, Health Canada, and public media. They develop phage-built bio-inks, hydrogels, microgels, surface coatings, scaffolds, and spray-dried powders, as well as phage-based assays and in vitro and in vivo models for phage therapy. Her team also works on aerosolized phage delivery as part of our award-winning bio-aerosols platform. As part of this research, Zeinab collaborates closely with the Canadian Standards Association (CSA) and served a members of the CSA standard development committee Z94.4.1 For developing the first Canadian standard for respirators. Zeinab is also a member of the Canadian Committee on Indoor Air Quality (CCIAQ).
