Afshin Samali

Afshin Samali is a prominent biologist and researcher based in Ireland, known for his work in the field of cell stress and cancer biology. Originally from Iran, he has made significant contributions to understanding how cellular environments, particularly within the bone marrow, influence the progression of blood cancers such as acute myeloid leukemia and multiple myeloma. His research focuses on the interactions between cancer cells and their microenvironments, aiming to develop more effective therapies that enhance immune responses against cancer. Samali's work is integral to the Precision Oncology Ireland program, and he has played a key role in establishing Blood Cancer Network Ireland, which coordinates vital biobanking efforts for blood cancer research.
