Ali Akbar Saboury was born in July 1960 in Kashmar, in the North-East of Iran. He completed his Ph.D. in Physical Chemistry in 1996. Now, he is professor and the head of Biophysics in institute of biochemistry and biophysics,university of Tehran. He researches on the protein denaturation thermodynamically and the enzyme kinetic using spectroscopy and microcalorimetry techniques. He supervises research works leading to the degree of M.Sc and Ph.D. He is associate member of Abdus-Salam International Center for Theoretical Physics (ICTP; Triest, Italy) and actives in many international societies and journals.    

 Studies on thermodynamic aspects of protein denaturation with the aim of obtaining additional information regarding protein structure-function relationship. Protein denaturation is done in many ways including thermal denaturation, chemical denaturation (by urea or guanidine hydrochloride), solvent denaturation, salt denaturation and interaction of proteins with surfactants. Different techniques such as equilibrium dialysis, isothermal titration microcalorimetry, differential scanning calorimetry, spectroscopy and densiometry are used for this purpose. Also kinetics of activation and inactivation of enzymes attached to ligands (inhibitor, activator, denaturant) and comparative studies related to kinetic and thermodynamic parameter involved.
