About
Erina Vlashi is an Adjunct Professor in the Department of Radiation Oncology at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA). She leads the Vlashi Lab, focusing on tumor metabolism, cancer stem cell biology, and radiation therapy resistance mechanisms.
- Education: PhD in Chemistry (Purdue University, 2007); Postdoctoral Training in Cancer Stem Cell Radiobiology (UCLA, 2010)
Research Interests include:
- Tumor metabolism and radiation-induced antioxidant responses
- Stem cell plasticity in cancers like glioblastoma and breast neoplasms
- Mechanisms of radioresistance and therapeutic targeting
Her scientific collaborations emphasize interdisciplinary approaches with Frank Pajonk, Harley Kornblum, and others. Grants include NIH T32 Training Grants for radiation oncology research. The lab investigates radiation-induced cellular reprogramming, proteasome subunit dynamics, and metabolic reconfiguration in tumors.
Key techniques involve:
- Folate-targeted drug delivery systems
- In vivo imaging of cancer stem cells
- Molecular profiling of radiation response
