Homa completed here PhD here at the University of Cambridge in Prof. Edmund Kunji’s lab at MRC -Mitochondrial Biology Unit where she developed high-throughput methods for identification of mitochondrial carriers and other membrane transporters. She then moved to U.S. for her postdoctoral research in Dr. Faranak Fattahi’s lab at University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) where she has developed hPSC-derived models of human peripheral nervous system including the enteric nervous system for disease modeling and drug discovery. Homa’s postdoc research has earned fellowships from the NIH , Larry L. Hillblom foundation (LLHF), and Program for Breakthrough Biomedical Research (PBBR).
