Dr. Mahyar Sharif

Led complex translational oncology projects (TSO500 (ctDNA/FFPE), SNP genotyping, and RNA-Seq workflows to advance novel biomarker validation strategies) Authored analytical protocols, validation plans, and regulatory-ready reports ensuring compliance with internal quality frameworks and international standards Cross-functional alignment of diagnostic scientists, bioinformaticians, hospital clinicians, and pharma partners, delivering study milestones on schedule. Directed assay qualification processes

Conducted translational oncology research focused on liquid biopsy, ctDNA, and circulating miRNAs. Performed PCR, RT‑qPCR, ddPCR, nucleic acid extraction, and sample processing. Contributed to study design, optimization, and data interpretation. Co‑authored peer‑reviewed publications and supported manuscripts. Presented findings at international conferences and seminars.

Supervised and mentored lab teams of up to 10 staff, driving high‑quality performance and efficient workflows. Led PCR and DNA analysis with strict QC adherence. Gained broad clinical lab experience across hematology, immunology, microbiology, biobanking, phlebotomy, and molecular diagnostics. Trained new technicians, optimized processes, and supported troubleshooting to ensure accurate, reproducible results.
