Shagufta Shaheen
Clinical Assistant Professor, Medicine - Oncology
BioDr. Shaheen specializes in the gastrointestinal malignancies and she has expertise in treating neuroendocrine tumors (NETs). Following her fellowship in Hematology and Oncology, Dr Shaheen completed an advanced fellowship in Neuroendocrine tumors from Stanford University. The NET advanced fellowship is first of its kind in United State started under the leadership of Dr Pamela Kunz who is the founding Director of the Stanford Neuroendocrine Tumor Program established in 2015. After completing her advanced fellowship, Dr Shaheen joined Stanford Oncology division as Clinical Assistant Professor. Dr Shaheen is involved in further developing the neuroendocrine oncology program at Stanford which serves as a centre of excellence in the treatment of neuroendocrine tumors. Dr Shaheen is actively involved in clinical research and clinical trials. Dr Shaheen is also involved in taking care of patients admitted to the oncology service as well as resident and fellow teaching.

Mohammad Shahrokh Esfahani
Assistant Professor of Radiation Oncology (Radiation and Cancer Biology)
BioWith a primary focus on high-dimensional data, I have significant expertise in developing machine learning tools. Much of my work involves constructing Bayesian models, which effectively convert 'prior knowledge', either inherent in the dataset or obtained from external sources, into mathematical terms—more specifically, prior probabilities.
My recent research efforts have centered on the analysis of genetic and epigenetic signals within cell-free DNA assays. This interest in epigenetics led to the development of a pioneering technique known as EPIC-seq, which has broadened our understanding of this complex field.
It's notable that traditional computational methods in cancer genomics often fall short when confronted with an exceedingly low signal-to-noise ratio—a common scenario in cfDNA analyses. As such, there's an emerging need to devise innovative, robust methods capable of overcoming this limitation—a research area that I'm deeply committed to and actively engaged in. -
Mehrdad Shamloo
Professor (Research) of Neurosurgery and, by courtesy, of Neurology
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.

Hua Shan
Professor of Pathology
BioDr. Shan specializes in providing blood transfusion and apheresis treatment to patients with diverse medical problems. She has been practicing transfusion medicine for over twenty five years. Dr. Shan currently serves as the Medical Director of Transfusion Service at Stanford Medical Center. Dr. Shan has also been leading research and education programs in the fields of transfusion safety, optimizing clinical blood transfusion practice and blood availability.

Lucy Shapiro
Virginia and D. K. Ludwig Professor, Emerita
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsA basic question in developmental biology involves the mechanisms used to generate the three-dimensional organization of a cell from a one-dimensional genetic code. Our goal is to define these mechanisms using both molecular genetics and biochemistry.
