Shama Mirza

Dr. Shama Mirza is Associate Professor and Director of the Shimadzu Laboratory at UW-Milwaukee, developing precision medicine approaches through mass spectrometry-based proteomics. Her research identifies protein biomarkers for glioblastoma, obstructive uropathy, and endometrial cancer.

Key research directions:

• Non-invasive diagnostic tests for infant urinary tract obstruction
• Proteomic signatures for cancer detection and monitoring
• Technology development for clinical mass spectrometry

Collaborations with medical centers translate findings into clinical applications, particularly in early cancer detection and therapeutic monitoring.
