Mehrdad Shamloo
Professor (Research) of Neurosurgery and, by courtesy, of Neurology and Neurological Sciences
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsThe ultimate goal of the Shamloo laboratory is to rapidly advance our understanding of brain function at the molecular, cellular, circuit and behavioral levels, and to elucidate the pathological process underlying malfunction of the nervous system following injury and neurologic disorders such as stroke, Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson’s disease, and autism. We have been focusing on the noradrenergic system and approaches leading to restoration of brain adrenergic signaling in these disorders.

Tong Shan
Postdoctoral Scholar, Psychiatry
BioTong completed her Ph.D. at the University of Rochester. She also holds an M.S. in Biostatistics from Northwestern University and a B.S. in Medical Imaging from Sichuan University.
In her research, Tong has explored topics such as subcortical and cortical neural responses to naturalistic speech and music, neural mechanisms underlying musical perception, and the impact of visual cues on speech-in-noise comprehension.
Currently, Tong is involved in the Speaker-Listener projects, where she investigates brain activities related to natural communication. She is excited to deepen her understanding of auditory processing of speech during communication and its implications for improving quality of life, particularly in clinical populations such as individuals with ASD, AD, etc.
Outside of her research, Tong is a music producer, creating original songs and soundtracks for video games. She has a passion for exploring the intersection of art and technology. -
Vikram Shankar, MD
Clinical Instructor, Ophthalmology

Dr. Shankar’s clinical focus is the medical and surgical care of cataracts and adult glaucoma, including premium lenses and minimally invasive glaucoma surgery (MIGS). Dr. Shankar’s research and professional interests include ophthalmic public health, biomedical devices, and digital health. He has a particular interest in the intersection of entrepreneurship, public health, and ophthalmology, aiming to find innovative solutions that will impact millions of patients.
Dr. Shankar has published research on lung cancer metastasis to the optic nerve, pharmacologic therapies in glaucoma, and surgical outcomes with a novel glaucoma device. He has also delivered presentations nationwide on topics including screening rates for diabetic retinopathy based on insurance type and socioeconomic factors, Medicaid expansion, and health disparities.
Dr. Shankar completed a combined MD/MPH at Washington University in St. Louis School of Medicine. He earned the Albert F. Koetter, MD Scholarship; Dean’s Research Fellowship; and Jonathan Mann Fellowship as a medical student. He completed his ophthalmology residency at the Wills Eye Hospital in Philadelphia, PA. He subsequently completed his fellowship in glaucoma at the Stanford Byers Eye Institute.
Dr. Shankar is the cofounder of a seed-stage ophthalmic medical device startup that aims to improve patient safety and mitigate the environmental impact of eye care worldwide.
Dr. Shankar is a member of the American Academy of Ophthalmology. -
