Shailja
Postdoctoral Scholar, Radiological Sciences Laboratory
BioShailja is an engineer and computational scientist interested in the modeling of the human brain to study neurological diseases and guide neurosurgeries. As a Wu Tsai Neuroscience Institute’s postdoctoral fellow with Prof. Jennifer A. McNab and Prof. Josef Parvizi, she investigates tractography-based neurosurgical targeting. She is interested in mapping the whole brain structural connectivity network from diffusion MRI to functional connectivity in the human brain. Shailja received her PhD in Electrical and Computer Engineering from the University of California, Santa Barbara and BS from Electrical Engineering Department, Indian Institute of Technology, Kharagpur. Her doctoral research is on Reeb graphs for modeling white matter fibers in the human brain, which was awarded the Winifred and Louis Lancaster Best PhD Dissertation at UC Santa Barbara.

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.
