Tamar Aprahamian, PhD is an Assistant Professor of Nephrology at the Chobanian and Avedisian School of Medicine. Dr. Aprahamian returned to the university in 2017, after a year-long stint as Principal Scientist for Cobalt Biomedicine, where she was named as inventor on 9 patents and led the preclinical development, design, and analysis of data. She is also the founder of JetPub Scientific Communications. The company specializes in writing services for academic institutions, pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and medical device companies.

Dr. Aprahamian's research interests are influenced by her 12 years in the BUSM renal section and include adipose tissue biology, in vivo efficacy testing, and drug target validation.
