Dr. Mahyar Sharif

Led TSO500 ctDNA/FFPE, SNP genotyping, and RNA‑seq projects for biomarker discovery in translational oncology. Authored validation and analytical plans and reports with lab, bioinformatics, and clinical teams. Coordinated cross‑functional stakeholders to align on study design and timelines. Supported assay validation per quality and regulatory standards. Managed timelines, milestones, and clear cross‑team communication.

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.
