Biography

Saeed Moradian has worked in a variety of clinical settings before consolidating his nursing career within the areas of Nursing Research and Oncology. He graduated from the University of Manchester’s Nursing PhD program in 2013 and then engaged as a postdoctoral research fellow in the department of Psychosocial Oncology at the Ontario Cancer Institute (OCI) of the Princess Margaret Cancer Centre (PM) and the Lawrence Bloomberg Faculty of Nursing (LSBFON) at the University of Toronto (U of T) from February 2015 to 2018.

Saeed’ program of research focuses on reducing the burden of complex cancer symptoms (fatigue, breathlessness, pain, treatment side effects) and improving the quality of self-management support in the cancer system. His research has explored novel methods and innovative techniques to find more effective ways in controlling and managing complex symptoms in cancer patients. Most his recent studies and contributions focus on interventions using e-technology to empower patients to manage their symptoms and improve patient-professional interactions.
