Shahriar SheikhBahaei, Ph.D.
Dr. SheikhBahaei’s interest in neuroscience stemmed from the usual combination of an aptitude for science and a medical problem (stuttering) that brought him into bioscience at a young age. Dr. SheikhBahaei received his bachelor’s degree from the University of California at Berkeley, where he worked with Dr. Bob Zucker on the regulation of neurotransmitter release and Dr. John Rubenstein (UC San Francisco) on development of GABAergic neurons in basal ganglia. Dr. SheikhBahaei completed his doctoral studies in Neuroscience (2017) jointly under NIMH/NINDS – University College London (UCL) Graduate Partnership Program where he worked with Drs. Jeffrey Smith (NINDS) and Alexander Gourine (UCL). His graduate studies were on how astrocytic networks control activities of respiratory motor circuits within the brainstem. After short postdoctoral research at NINDS, Dr. SheikhBahaei became an Independent Research Scholar in 2019. In collaboration with the lab
Novel Quantum Sensor Provides New Approach to Early Diagnosis Via Imaging
Scientists develop new quantum sensor that allows detection of oxidative stress in organs during MRI scans, opening doors to early diagnosis of serious illnesses
Unhealthy lifestyles, various diseases, stress, and aging can all contribute to an imbalance between the production of ROS and the body s ability to reduce and eliminate them. The resulting excessive levels of ROS cause oxidative stress . Graphic courtesy of National Institutes for Quantum and Radiological Science and Technology
February 10, 2021 Oxygen is essential for human life, but within the body, certain biological environmental conditions can transform oxygen into aggressively reactive molecules called reactive oxygen species (ROS), which can damage DNA, RNA, and proteins.

Novel quantum sensor offers a new route to early diagnosis, preventive treatment
Oxygen is essential for human life, but within the body, certain biological environmental conditions can transform oxygen into aggressively reactive molecules called reactive oxygen species (ROS), which can damage DNA, RNA, and proteins. Normally, the body relies on molecules called antioxidants to convert ROS into less dangerous chemical species through a process called reduction.
But unhealthy lifestyles, various diseases, stress, and aging can all contribute to an imbalance between the production of ROS and the body s ability to reduce and eliminate them. The resulting excessive levels of ROS cause oxidative stress, which can disrupt normal cellular functions and increase the risk of diseases like cancer, neurodegeneration, kidney dysfunction, and others, which are all accompanied by severe inflammation.
