Vahid Shahrezaei

Vahid Shahrezaei is Professor of Biomathematics at the Department of Mathematics, Imperial College. He joined Imperial as a lecturer in 2008. Before joining Imperial he was a postdoctoral fellow in center for nonlinear dynamics at McGill University in Montreal. He did his PhD at Simon Fraser University, Vancouver. He holds a BSc and MSc in Physics from Sharif University of Technology. He spent a sabbatical year at the Crick Institute in 2023-2024. He is currently on the BBSRC pool of experts. The main area of Prof Shahrezaei's research is Computational Molecular Systems Biology. He is interested in studying design principles that enable cells to function robustly, in spite of significant inherent stochasticity and environmental noise. To this end, a combination of analytical and computational methods is used to investigate the temporal, spatial and stochastic dynamics of biochemical networks. In recent years Shahrezaei's group has developed methods for the analysis of single cell RNA-sequencing data and simulation-based inference methods for biochemical networks. Interested people for PhD studies or postdoc positions should contact Prof Shahrezaei by email.
