Mohammed Salman Shazeeb

Mohammed Salman Shazeeb serves as an Adjunct Teaching Professor in Biomedical Engineering at Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI), with affiliated appointments in Radiology at UMASS Medical School and MGH/Harvard Medical School. His academic roles bridge engineering innovation and clinical imaging applications across multiple institutions.

His educational foundation includes:

• BS Biomedical Engineering, Boston University (summa cum laude)
• MENGR Biomedical Engineering, WPI
• PhD in BME & Medical Physics, WPI & UMASS Medical School
• Postdoctoral training in Molecular Imaging (UMASS), MRI Biophysics (MGH/Harvard & UAE University), and Translational Imaging (Sanofi)

Professor Shazeeb's research pioneers quantitative MRI methodologies for tissue characterization, with dual focus on biomaterials science and clinical translation. His work develops novel parameters for tracking collagen scaffold integration, hydrogel degradation via CEST MRI, and tumor vasculature analysis. Neuroimaging applications include myelination tracking and manganese-enhanced brain mapping, while cardiac imaging innovations address respiratory motion artifacts through advanced hysteresis modeling.

His publication record (2011-2019) reveals a strategic evolution from fundamental MRI physics toward clinically impactful applications, particularly in tissue engineering and oncology. Key contributions include motion correction algorithms adopted in cardiac SPECT/PET and quantitative biomarkers for biomaterial integration.

As an Adjunct Teaching Professor, he integrates clinical imaging challenges into WPI's biomedical engineering curriculum. His research collaborations span academic medical centers and industry, with ongoing projects in MRI methodology development. Though no specific awards are documented, his work appears in premier journals including Cancer Research and Biomaterials, reflecting significant contributions to medical imaging science.
