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)
BioI lead a computational oncology laboratory that develops machine learning and statistical methods for high-dimensional genomics, with particular expertise in Bayesian and uncertainty-aware modeling to integrate prior biological knowledge with large-scale datasets.
Our research centers on liquid biopsy analytics—especially cell-free DNA (cfDNA)—to noninvasively quantify genetic and epigenetic states relevant to cancer detection, monitoring, and tumor evolution. We developed EPIC-seq, a fragmentomics-based method that uses cfDNA fragmentation patterns to infer regulatory activity and gene expression programs, providing a scalable framework for epigenetic profiling from blood.
A core methodological focus of the lab is enabling reliable inference in extremely low signal-to-noise settings that are typical of cfDNA and early-stage disease. We build robust, interpretable models and benchmarking frameworks that support clinical translation, with the long-term aim of democratizing access to sensitive, minimally invasive cancer diagnostics. -
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.
