About Adnan Shah
Interdisciplinary scientist with 10+ years of experience developing high throughput amenable advanced in vitro models and translational assays to support biomarker development, therapeutic delivery, and mechanism-of-action studies. I have deep expertise in isolating/ characterizing cell-specific extracellular vesicles, characterizing cell-surface proteins, leveraging RNA-based platforms (siRNA, CRISPR), and optimizing non-viral delivery systems (lipid nanoparticles, extracellular vesicles, liposomes) for tissue-specific targeting. Proven success in modeling complex tissue barriers (e.g, blood-brain barrier, microvascular endothelium), leading biomarker discovery efforts (e.g, Olink), and driving functional biomarker and bioanalytical assay development following ICH guidelines (e.g, qPCR, ELISA, MSD, SIMOA) to enable target discovery and validation across neuroscience and oncology. Excels in cross-functional team environments and scientific innovation, with 13+ publications and a strong record of mentorship and project leadership.
