Institute of Science and Nanotechnology as a postdoctoral researcher. Since 2014, he has been a visiting professor at the Free University of Berlin. Adeli’s multidisciplinary research focuses on organic chemistry, polymer science and nanomedicine and addresses several innovative subjects such synthesis of new polymeric architectures and investigation of their physicochemical properties as well as their applications in the field of nanomedicine. Deep understanding of the mechanism of in plane polymerizations and their properties at biointerfaces has resulted in development of new antimicrobial, antiviral, anticancer and wound healing therapeutics. He is developing new methods for the construction of organic frameworks.
