Mahsa Vaez Zadeh

Mahsa Vaez Zadeh is a Researcher dedicated to advancing brain cancer treatment through innovative tissue engineering approaches. Her work centers on developing 3D organ-specific brain tumor models to serve as natural test-beds for drug screening, specifically targeting high-grade brain cancer and glioblastoma to improve patient outcomes.

Her research interests span brain tumor modeling, tissue regeneration, drug screening, and pharmacotherapy. She focuses on creating biomimetic 3D in vitro models that replicate tumor microenvironments to test combination drug therapies and overcome treatment resistance. This translational work bridges laboratory research with clinical applications in neuro-oncology.

Publications from 2017-2023 reveal an evolution from biochemical enzyme studies to sophisticated brain tumor modeling. Recent work emphasizes optical imaging integration with tissue-engineered systems, highlighting interdisciplinary collaboration across oncology, pharmacology, and biomedical engineering. Key trends include developing macroscopic test-systems for real-time tumor analysis and roadmap strategies for future glioblastoma therapies.

She maintains active collaboration with a multidisciplinary team including Guillemin GJ, Heng B, Guller A, and Nadort A, focusing on optical sensing applications and validation of 3D cancer models for therapeutic development.
