Bilal Nizami holds a Doctor of Pharmacy degree from the University of Karachi and later obtained his MSc degree in Nanomedicine through the Erasmus Mundus Joint Master’s Degree program between the Université Paris Cite, Université d’Angers, University of Pavia and the University of Patras.

During his master’s thesis he worked on the development of a novel in vitro Blood Brain Barrier model using human induced pluripotent stem cells in the lab of Prof. Gert Fricker at the University of Heidelberg. In 2022, he started his PhD in Medical-Surgical Biotechnologies and Translational Medicine under Professor Nicola Toschi. Currently, he works on using focused ultrasound to disrupt the blood brain barrier to aid the delivery of therapeutic agents. His research also focuses on non-invasive neuromodulation, involving the study of the neuromodulatory effects of magnetic nanoparticles in vivo in autistic models.
