Saman Sharifi, PharmD, PhD
Chief Scientific Designer - Daena
Translational Pharmacologist / Scientific Communicator / Visual Storyteller
Scientist by training. Designer by practice.
Profile
My professional foundation is pharmacology and translational biomedical research. My path has taken me through international research environments in India, Italy, Switzerland, Austria, and Canada, spanning drug discovery, oncology, senescence biology, preclinical pharmacology, and scientific communication.
Alongside science, I developed an independent practice in scientific visualization, digital storytelling, interactive experiences, and design.
Daena is where these worlds meet.
