Laboratory science × software systems

Biotechnologist during the day,software developer at night.

I’ve been programming since I was fourteen. Today, I combine that background with biotechnology and laboratory research to build scientific software, supervised AI tools, and practical systems.

Science × software

Evidence behind the work

Not just claims. Actual context.

The projects are grounded in laboratory training, published research, and a long-running interest in building software.

Biotechnology degree

B.Sc. Biotechnology, Hochschule Rhein-Waal, completed in 2025.

Wet-lab experience

Cell culture, Western blot, flow cytometry, viability analysis and IC50 workflows.

Published contribution

Co-author on a 2025 pleural mesothelioma study in Cells.

Programming since fourteen

C, C++, C#, Lua, Visual Basic, embedded C, Python, R and Java for Android.

CURRENT RESEARCH

Help me understand what slows laboratory work down.

I’m collecting feedback on everyday analysis and data-handling pain points in laboratory research. Your input will help shape the scientific tools I build next.

Selected projects

One laboratory tool. One personal assistant.

Each project gets a proper case study, ongoing changelog, and related articles instead of being reduced to a tiny portfolio card.

MesoLab Analytics

An offline analysis environment designed around actual drug-response workflows rather than generic spreadsheet logic.

Guided plate layout, quality control, normalization and 4PL fitting.
Designed for researchers who should not need to become data engineers.
Grounded in mesothelioma research and real laboratory constraints.

AEDA

A local-first assistant built around explicit permission, visible tool activity, and supervised changes.

Permission broker, dry runs, unified diffs and rollback.
Hardware-aware local model selection with cloud fallback.
Wraps mature tools instead of pretending to replace everything.

About preview

Full story on the About page: Yavar Dezfouli.

I started programming at fourteen and kept moving between languages, platforms and small experiments long before studying biotechnology.

The full About page connects that history to laboratory work, publication experience, the origin of MesoLab, and why AEDA focuses on helping people use existing tools safely.
