Research Focus
Dr. Neema Jamshidi's research lab at UCLA focuses on improving our understanding and treatment of pancreatic cancer, a highly aggressive type of cancer with poor survival rates. The lab integrates various diagnostic techniques, including imaging and molecular profiling, to identify distinct characteristics of the tumor environment. By combining data from multiple sources, they aim to create non-invasive imaging tests for better diagnosis and potential new treatment targets.
