International Congress of Isfahan Biomedical Sciences ICIBS – 2020 26Th September To1st October International Congress of Isfahan Biomedical Sciences ICIBS – 2020 26th September to1st October A International Congress of Isfahan Biomedical Sciences ICIBS – 2020 26th September to1st October Chairman Message Dear friends and colleagues, on behalf of the organizing committee, I take great pride in welcoming all the participants to the International Congress of Isfahan Biomedical Sciences (ICIBS-2020). The ICIBS would provide a great opportunity for biomedical scientists to present their cutting edge research. I hope this scientific event would provide a platform for scientists and students around the world to gather and share their research findings that would benefit the whole community. We believe that our first job is create a social atmosphere so that the participants could build their network that will eventually lead to the future collaborative projects. The Congress being held in glorious city of Isfahan. The whole city is represented as a museum of art, architecture and handicrafts. Isfahan is city of Abu Ali Al- Hussein Ibn Abdullah Ibn Sina, known in the West as Avicenna, who was the most eminent physician and philosopher of his days whose influence on the medicine persisted for centuries. Isfahan is historically intermingled with medical sciences and this will inspire us to get together, build and discuss modern ideas and concepts of Biomedical Sciences in a city that was once among the prominent leaders in medical sciences in the world. Hope a very joyful and fruitful stay for all of the participants Professor Rasoul Salehi Chairman ICIBS 2020 B International Congress of Isfahan Biomedical Sciences ICIBS – 2020 26th September to1st October Congress Organization ICIBS-2020 Chairperson Prof. Rasoul Salehi Head of Department of Genetic & Molecular Biology, Isfahan University of Medical Sciences ICIBS-2020 Scientific Secretary Dr. Mohammadreza Sharifi PhD, Professor (Associate) in the Department of Genetics and Molecular biology, Isfahan University of Medical Sciences ICIBS-2020 Executive Secretary Dr. Mehrdad Zeinalian MD, PhD, Professor Assistant in the Department of Genetics and Molecular biology, Isfahan University of Medical Sciences C International Congress of Isfahan Biomedical Sciences ICIBS – 2020 26th September to1st October Scientific Committee Prof. Fathia Mami-Chouaib Prof. Bahram Nasr Esfahani Dr. Naeimeh Tayebi Prof. Shaghayegh Haghjooy Javanmard Prof. Iscia Lopes-Cendes Prof. Peyman Adibi Prof. Khosrow Adeli Prof. Roya Kelishadi Dr. Zahida Qamri Prof. Parham Reisi Dr. Behrad Noudoost Prof. Abbas Rezaei Dr. Samar Sayedyahosein Prof. Masih Saboori Dr. Zahir Bhuiyan Prof. Shahnaz Razavi Dr. Neda Nategh Prof. Rasoul Salehi Dr. Maryam Azimzadeh Irani Prof. Mansoor Salehi Dr. Ali Rashidi-Nezhad Dr. Parvaneh Nikpour Dr. Babak Shojaie Dr. Hossein Khan Ahmad Dr. Majid Mojarrad Dr. Yousof Gheisari Prof. Mohammad Hossein Nasr- Esfahani Dr. Mohammad Amin Tabatabaiefar Prof. Seyed Mehdi Kalantar Dr. Mohammadreza Sharifi Prof. Kamran Ghaedi Dr. Mehrdad Zeinalian Prof. Tahereh Changiz Dr. Mohammad Kazemi Prof. Mehdi Nematbakhsh Dr. Rana Moradian Prof. Mohammad Hasan Emami Dr. Sharifeh Khosravi D International Congress of Isfahan Biomedical Sciences ICIBS – 2020 26th September to1st October 1 Page International Congress of Isfahan Biomedical Sciences ICIBS – 2020 26th September to1st October Day 1: 26th September / Morning Opening Time Program 8:15 - 8:30 Quran and National Anthem Prof. Tahereh Changiz 8:30 - 9 Chancellor of Isfahan University of Medical Sciences Prof. Rasoul Salehi, Chairman of ICIBS 2020 9 - 9:30 Director of Pediatric Inherited Diseases Research Center, Head of the Department of Genetics and Molecular Biology, Faculty of Medicine, Isfahan University of Medical Sciences Key Presenter: Prof. Shaghayegh Haghjoo Javanmard 9:30 - 9:55 Vice chancellor of research Isfahan University of Medical Sciences Tumor microenvironment Key Presenter: Dr. Naeimeh Tayebi 9:55 - 10:20 Washington University in Saint Louis School of Medicine, USA., USA High throughput technologies to investigate the molecular basis of congenital limb malformation 10.20 - 10.35 Break, Advertising Key Presenter: Prof. Iscia Lopes-Cendes 10.35 – 11:00 School of Medical Sciences,University of Campinad-Unicamp, Brazil Precision medicine: From definition to implementation Key Presenter: Prof. Roya Kelishadi Head of the Research Institute for Primordial Prevention of Non-Communicable Disease, Isfahan 11:00 – 11:25 University of Medical Sciences, Isfahan, Iran Epigenetics and the developmental origins of health and disease in the process of non-communicable diseases Key Presenter: Prof. Khosrow Adeli 11:25 – 11:50 Head and professor, Clinical Biochemistry, The Hospital for Sick Children, University of Toronto, Canada Postprandial dyslipidemia in obesity & insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes.

The Islamic Republic’s Political Elite & Syria: Understanding What They Think Through Iranian Media Narratives Abstract The Islamic Republic of Iran has been the central regional backer of the Bashar al-Assad regime since the outbreak of the Syrian civil war in March 2011. Despite the importance of Iran in the drama unfolding in Syria, including any possible resolution to the conflict, the Iranian political elite’s perceptions of the Syrian civil war are arguably not well understood. This report attempts to uncover these perceptions by analyzing the Iranian print news media and highlighting the dominant narratives. As one of the first systematic studies of Iranian media narratives on the Syrian civil war, this report can be an aid to policymakers, academics, journalists and others in understanding the Iranian political elite’s thinking on this issue.
