About Saeed Kargar
I graduated in microbial biotechnology from the University of Tehran. I had been worked at livogen pharmed for 3 years, where I worked as head of digital marketing, an expert of “analysis molecular” and “cell culture”. During this period I participated in different projects like gene sequencing, and cell bank characterization, moreover I was responsible for flow cytometry.
I’m also passionate about public teaching biotechnology. I have continuously tried to translate last news and advancement related to biology worldwide on my social media since 2015. By the name of Biotecher, I have 18k followers on Instagram and telegram and have an active website.
