Pouya Jamshidi, MD is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Pathology at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine, specializing in Neuropathology with expertise in neurodegenerative diseases and molecular diagnostics.
His educational background includes:
- BS: University of California, San Diego (2009)
- MD: Weill Cornell Medicine (2016)
- MS-HPE: Feinberg School of Medicine (Current)
- NIH T32 Postdoctoral Fellowship: Mesulam Center for Cognitive Neurology and Alzheimer's Disease (2018)
- Anatomic Pathology Residency: University of Chicago–NorthShore (2021)
- Neuropathology Fellowship: Northwestern Memorial Hospital (2023)
Dr. Jamshidi's research integrates clinical neuropathology with molecular and immunological approaches across three core domains:
- Neurodegenerative Mechanisms: Investigating tauopathies, amyloid vasculitis, and TDP-43 proteinopathies in Alzheimer's and frontotemporal dementia
- Translational Diagnostics: Developing advanced molecular techniques for surgical neuropathology
- Medical Education: Innovating curriculum design as part of his MS-HPE program
His 2025 publications reveal a strong thematic focus on immune-neural interactions in neurodegeneration, with recurring investigations into viral influences on Parkinson's disease, sports-related tau pathology, and molecular signatures of brain atrophy.
Notable honors include:
- Engaged Leadership Academy, CAP (2024)
- Katten Muchin Rosenmann Travel Scholarship (2022)
- ASCP Subspecialty Grant (2020)
- AANP Neurodegenerative Scholars Program (2019)
Dr. Jamshidi directs neuropathology education through AANP committees while leading research in the Mesulam Center for Cognitive Neurology. His NIH T32 fellowship and ASCP grant support ongoing work on molecular diagnostics in neurodegenerative disorders.
He maintains active roles in the Mesulam Center for Cognitive Neurology and Alzheimer's Disease and NUCATS, driving collaborative research on aging and dementia through interdisciplinary teams.
