About
Dr. Dilip Shah is a biochemist and immunologist whose pioneering research bridges molecular science, immunology, and translational medicine. Originally from Nepal, Dr. Shah earned his B.Sc. in Chemistry, M.Sc. in Biochemistry, and Ph.D. in Biochemistry, supported by competitive fellowship awards from the governments of Nepal and India. His early work examined the role of oxidative stress and antioxidant systems in immune regulation, particularly in autoimmune diseases such as systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Through this research, he identified intracellular glutathione as a critical regulator of lymphocyte function and inflammatory signaling—a discovery published in leading journals such as Immunobiology, Cellular Immunology, and Immunology Letters. Dr. Shah later expanded his focus to vaccine adjuvant development and neonatal lung biology, pioneering the use of laser-based immunization techniques to boost vaccine efficacy. His groundbreaking studies revealed how non-ablative fractional lasers could safely enhance immune responses to influenza vaccines, advancing understanding of lung immunology and host-pathogen interactions. His findings have appeared in Nature Communications and the Journal of Controlled Release. Today, Dr. Shah’s work centers on immunotherapeutics and targeted cancer therapies, including CAR-T cell and antibody–drug conjugate (ADC) mechanisms. His mission is to develop precise, effective, and safer treatments for both hematologic malignancies and solid tumors. Recognized for his collaborative leadership and scientific rigor, Dr. Shah continues to push the boundaries of biomedical innovation.
