Bio

Dr. Shah practices hematology and oncology. He has fellowship training in both specialties and is board-certified in hematology, oncology, and internal medicine.

Dr. Shah is passionate about delivering patient-centered care. He aims to balance evidence-based treatments with each patient’s individual preferences. His goal is to maximize both clinical outcomes and quality of life.

He feels privileged to have the opportunity to work so closely with patients and their families. Together, they can find and pursue what is important to them throughout their cancer journey.

In addition to providing clinical care, Dr. Shah has conducted research. His research interests include molecular testing and immunotherapy outcomes in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).

Dr. Shah has co-authored articles on treatment for NSCLC and other topics in publications such as Clinical Lung Cancer and Journal of Oncology Practice.

He has made presentations to his peers at the American Society of Clinical Oncology–Society for the Immunotherapy of Cancer (ASCO-SITC) annual meeting and other conferences. He also has helped develop the curriculum and taught students in hematology, oncology, internal medicine, and neurobiology. In his hematology/oncology fellowship at Stanford, he was a senior teaching fellow.

Dr. Shah was also a Johnson & Johnson Global Health Scholar, serving for two months as a visiting resident scholar in Kampala, Uganda.

When not working, he enjoys reading, trying new recipes, and exploring parks with his family.

  • Resistance to forgetting associated with hippocampus-mediated reactivation during new learning NATURE NEUROSCIENCE Kuhl, B. A., Shah, A. T., DuBrow, S., Wagner, A. D. 2010; 13 (4): 501-U128

    Abstract

    One of the reasons why we forget past experiences is because we acquire new memories in the interim. Although the hippocampus is thought to be important for acquiring and retaining memories, there is little evidence linking neural operations during new learning to the forgetting (or remembering) of earlier events. We found that, during the encoding of new memories, responses in the human hippocampus are predictive of the retention of memories for previously experienced, overlapping events. This brain-behavior relationship is evident in neural responses to individual events and in differences across individuals. We found that the hippocampus accomplishes this function by reactivating older memories as new memories are formed; in this case, reactivating neural responses that represented monetary rewards associated with older memories. These data reveal a fundamental mechanism by which the hippocampus tempers the forgetting of older memories as newer memories are acquired.
