Tahmineh Azizi, PhD

Postdoc Research Associate

Washington University in St. Louis (WU)

I am an innovative researcher with over eight years of experience in cancer research, focusing on developing novel computational models that bridge in-vitro experiments with in-vivo endpoints, particularly through mathematical biology and statistical modeling. Additionally, my studies on drug distribution and pharmacokinetics aim to refine drug delivery technologies for cancer treatment. My work employs techniques from applied mathematics and statistics to analyze cancer dynamics. Currently, at the Mallinckrodt Institute of Radiology, I am advancing computational modeling in cancer research, including evaluating cognitive biomarkers in pediatric brain tumor patients using resting-state fMRI. Committed to interdisciplinary collaborations, I aspire to enhance cancer treatment methodologies and develop practical solutions that improve patient outcomes by integrating applied mathematics with oncology research. My long-term goal is to further my expertise in mathematical and statistical applications in the fight against cancer, ultimately contributing to more effective therapeutic interventions.
