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 2021. 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
BioDr. Mahasish Shome is interested in understanding the underlying mechanism of disease progression. He uses various omics profiling to identify biomarkers relevant to the disease. He studies antibodies, cytokines, proteins and microbiome profile to decipher the connection of disease with markers. Connecting various omics provide a holistic overview of the disease profile and can help in early diagnosis, understanding disease state and drug/vaccine effectiveness.
