Mohammed Salman Shazeeb

Mohammed Salman Shazeeb, PhD, is an Associate Professor in the Department of Radiology at UMass Chan Medical School, with a secondary appointment at T.H. Chan School of Medicine. His research integrates advanced imaging (MRI, optical coherence tomography) with neurology, focusing on neurodegenerative diseases, stroke, and rare disorders like GM1 gangliosidosis.

Education:

• BS in Biomedical Engineering, Boston University
• ME in Biomedical Engineering, Worcester Polytechnic Institute
• PhD in Biomedical Engineering & Medical Physics, Worcester Polytechnic Institute & UMass Medical School
• Postdoctoral Training: Molecular Imaging (MGH/Harvard), MRI Biophysics (Sanofi), Translational Imaging

Research Focus:
Dr. Shazeeb develops novel neuroimaging tools for: 1) Quantifying brain changes in GM1 gangliosidosis, 2) Optimizing thrombectomy via 3D vessel geometry, 3) Monitoring gene therapy in CNS diseases, and 4) Neuroprotective strategies in stroke models using MRI. His work bridges engineering and clinical neurology.

Publication Trends:
Recent articles (2023–2025) emphasize automated MRI segmentation, ischemic penumbra imaging, and preclinical models for neurointervention. Consistent themes include neurodegeneration biomarkers, rare disease mechanisms, and therapeutic device innovation.
