Zahra Shokri Varniab
Postdoctoral Scholar, Radiology
BioZahra Shokri Varniab, MD, studied medicine at Tehran University of Medicine Sciences, Iran, and earned her medical degree in 2020. Her goal in novel cellular and molecular imaging is to develop novel in vivo imaging approaches to visualize, characterize and quantify molecular and cellular processes involved in developing brain tumors. She intends to utilize non-invasive imaging techniques to assess tumor microenvironment to understand their role in cancer, develop a method for determining tumor profiles, and also using brain MR Imaging to assess treatment response. She hopes cancer to be history.

Mahasish Shome
Postdoctoral Scholar, Genetics
BioI am a postdoctoral fellow in Department of Genetics working in Dr. Michael Snyder’s lab. My research interest revolves around studying humoral immunity to understand disease pathology. I am currently working on Postacute sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 infection (PASC) patients who experienced various symptoms after COVID infection and vaccination. We looked into the antibody profile of this cohort and also the B cell receptor (BCR) repertoire for possible clonal expansion. We are specifically trying to understand if there is an autoimmune component leading to these symptoms observed in PASC cohort. We also plan to decipher the reason behind some individuals having symptoms after vaccination while others do not.
I am also interested in inflammatory bowel disease pathology and how gut microbiome plays a role in disease progression. I am focusing on Adherent Invasive Escherichia Coli as a pathobiont microbe target. -
Pilleriin Sikka
Postdoctoral Scholar, Anesthesiology, Perioperative and Pain Medicine
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsPilleriin's main research interests focus on emotions and emotion regulation, mental well-being, sleep and dreaming, and consciousness. More specifically, she conducts research on the nature and continuity of emotions and emotion regulation across the wake-sleep cycle and how these are related to health and well-being. She also strives to understand the psychology and neurobiology of peace of mind as an aspect of mental well-being. In her research Pilleriin uses a multidisciplinary and multilevel framework that draws on the concepts, theories, and methods from the fields of philosophy, psychology, (affective) neuroscience, and (molecular) biology, and integrates different research areas, such as emotion research, sleep and dream research, consciousness research, and well-being research.
