Shadi received her B.Sc. in Electrical Engineering from Isfahan University of Technology in Iran and moved to Johns Hopkins University to pursue her graduate degree in Biomedical Engineering. She joined the Center for Biomarker Discovery and Translation in June 2011 to study glycomics and glycoproteomics under the supervision of Dr. Hui Zhang. Shadi is interested in developing experimental and computational techniques to better understand how glycosylation is altered during tumorigenesis. Her current research includes development of mass spectrometry imaging techniques for N-glycan imaging as well as software tools for high-throughput site-specific analysis of glycoproteomics mass spectral data.
