Dr. Kiarash Saleki, MD, HMBA

Dr. Kiarash Saleki founded CISBM, the Centre for Immunogenetics and Systems Biomedicine, in 2026, and serves as its President and Director General. He is affiliated with the University of Oxford’s Nuffield Department of Surgical Sciences.

He brings years of research experience spanning immunogenetics and systems biomedicine, and has collaborated with laboratories in the United States and the United Kingdom. His research contributions led to his selection as national researcher of the year, alongside various research grants and awards.

CISBM was established to give researchers working across immunogenetics and systems biomedicine, at any career stage and any institution, a structured way to collaborate on focused, rigorous scientific work: research proposals, manuscripts, and computational analyses developed together rather than in isolation.

As President and Director General, Dr. Saleki sets the scientific direction of CISBM and oversees its activities, membership, and research programme.
