About
Dr. Dilip Shah’s approach to science is shaped by curiosity, discipline, and collaboration. Growing up in Nepal, he developed an early love for cricket and soccer—sports that instilled teamwork, perseverance, and strategic thinking—alongside a deep fascination with how biological systems function. These formative experiences continue to influence how he works in the laboratory today. As a researcher, Dr. Shah is driven by the belief that careful experimentation and thoughtful interpretation can uncover mechanisms that meaningfully improve human health. His work has explored immune dysregulation, vaccine enhancement, neonatal lung development, and cellular stress pathways, always with an eye toward translational relevance. He is particularly interested in how mitochondrial function, immune signaling, and cellular metabolism intersect in disease progression and tissue injury. Known for his collaborative mindset and technical rigor, Dr. Shah brings extensive expertise in cell biology, molecular biology, biochemistry, immunoassays, and data analysis. He values mentorship and teamwork, viewing scientific progress as a collective effort rather than an individual pursuit. Outside the lab, Dr. Shah enjoys staying active and engaged—watching cricket, soccer, and the Super Bowl, reading scientific literature, and following emerging innovations in biomedical science. Grounded, curious, and forward-looking, he remains committed to advancing research that bridges discovery and therapeutic impact.
