Shahriar SheikhBahaei, Ph.D.
Dr. SheikhBahaei’s interest in neuroscience stemmed from the usual combination of an aptitude for science and a medical problem (stuttering) that brought him into bioscience at a young age. Dr. SheikhBahaei received his bachelor’s degree from the University of California at Berkeley, where he worked with Dr. Bob Zucker on the regulation of neurotransmitter release and Dr. John Rubenstein (UC San Francisco) on development of GABAergic neurons in basal ganglia. Dr. SheikhBahaei completed his doctoral studies in Neuroscience (2017) jointly under NIMH/NINDS – University College London (UCL) Graduate Partnership Program where he worked with Drs. Jeffrey Smith (NINDS) and Alexander Gourine (UCL). His graduate studies were on how astrocytic networks control activities of respiratory motor circuits within the brainstem. After short postdoctoral research at NINDS, Dr. SheikhBahaei became an Independent Research Scholar in 2019. In collaboration with the laboratories of Drs. Chudasama and Leopold at NIMH, Dr. Sheikhbahaei’s lab tries to expand understanding of the anatomical and functional organization of the cortical and subcortical structures controlling volitional and non-volitional vocalizations in social contexts. Dr. SheikhBahaei’s work and contributions to the field have been recognized by several awards, including NINDS Director’s Award for Research Excellence (FARE) in 2015 and 2018, AAAS Joshua E. Neimark Memorial Award, and inaugural selection to the Independent Research Scholar Program of the NIH Office of Intramural Research.
