Vahan Martirosian, Ph.D. is a post-doctoral fellow at UCLA. He received his B.S. in Biological Sciences from UC Irvine, with an Excellence in Research distinction for studying the potential therapeutic benefits of stem cell transplantation in the brain of cancer patients who suffer from chemotherapy and radiation-induced cognitive dysfunction. He then received his M.S. in Molecular Microbiology and Immunology and Ph.D. in Medical Biology from USC. His doctoral studies focused on identifying metabolic mechanisms contributing to the metastasis of medulloblastoma, a pediatric brain tumor and developing pipelines to bring personalized medicine to brain tumor patients. His current studies focus on interrogating the dynamics of nuclear metabolites in pluripotent stem cells and identifying metabolic pathways that are affected by chemotherapy and radiation in patients with glioblastoma.
