  • Linxi Shi

    Linxi Shi

    Sr Res Scientist-Physical, Rad/Radiological Sciences Laboratory

    BioI am a medical physicist and imaging scientist with over a decade of experience in CT imaging, algorithm development, and AI-driven reconstruction. I earned my Ph.D. in Medical Physics from the Georgia Institute of Technology, where I developed novel artifact corrections and reconstruction algorithms for cone beam computed tomography, focusing on applications in breast cancer diagnosis and image-guided radiation therapy.

    Following my doctoral studies, I completed a postdoctoral fellowship with the Stanford Cancer Imaging Training (SCIT) Program. Currently, I serves as a Senior Research Scientist in the Radiological Sciences Laboratory at Stanford University. My research focuses on developing advanced clinical translational x-ray and CT imaging systems, including algorithm design for tomographic reconstruction, artifact correction, and image processing for various imaging modalities.

  • Zahra Shokri Varniab

    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.

  • Shashi Singh

    Shashi Singh

    Postdoctoral Scholar, Radiology

    BioDr. Shashi Bhushan Singh is a Postdoctoral Scholar in the Department of Radiology at Stanford University, where he has been contributing to Professor Heike E. Daldrup-Link’s laboratory since 2023. His research focuses on clinical and translational molecular imaging, with a particular emphasis on developing and applying artificial intelligence algorithms for the automated detection and monitoring of pediatric cancers, including lymphoma and sarcomas, using PET and MRI.

    Dr. Singh is involved in projects encompassing AI-driven multimodal pediatric lymphoma detection, automation of the Deauville score, and prediction of post-chemotherapy responses in pediatric osteosarcoma. He also investigates the impact of iron-oxide nanoparticles on tumor-associated macrophages in osteosarcoma and Ewing sarcoma, using MRI.

    Prior to joining Stanford, Dr. Singh worked as a physician in Nepal from 2019 to 2021, gaining extensive clinical experience across a wide range of disease conditions. He subsequently served as a research scholar at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania (2021–2023) under the mentorship of Professor Abass Alavi. During this time, he conducted PET/CT research using a variety of radiotracers in hematological malignancies, aging, musculoskeletal disorders, neurological and psychiatric conditions, as well as infectious, inflammatory, and cardiovascular diseases.

    Outside of his professional work, Dr. Singh enjoys exploring local restaurants and beaches in the Bay Area, going for long drives, hiking, and playing sports, including volleyball, cricket, and soccer.
