معرفی
Dr. Sheefa Mirza is a Physician Scientist at the University of the Witwatersrand, specializing in Internal Medicine. Her research integrates cancer biology, molecular pharmacology, and computational modeling to explore mechanisms of drug resistance, exosomal RNA roles in tumor progression, and natural compound-based therapies.
Her work focuses on
- Colorectal and lung cancer
- Pharmacological targeting of MAPK/PrkC1 and AXL pathways
- Exosomal miRNA-146a and lncRNA in immune modulation
- Computational drug design for nanomaterials and triazole derivatives
Key trends in her publications include liquid biopsy applications, epigenetic regulators in cancer stem cells, and multi-gene panels for metastasis prediction. Her studies often bridge in silico simulations with in vitro validations.
She holds a PhD from Guru Nanak Dev University and is affiliated with the Internal Medicine Department at Wits University. Her research has been published in journals like Frontiers in Oncology, Non-Coding RNA Research, and Scientific Reports.
