Biography

Dr. Sneh M. Toprani serves as Associate Research Scientist in the Department of Environmental Health at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health in MA, USA. Her current research is centered around identifying functional DNA repair biomarkers in lung cancer patients. The goal is to predict disease risk and develop personalized treatment plans based on patient's sensitivity to radiation and other DNA-damaging agents.
Additionally, she serves as a Principal Investigator, focusing on assessing genomic instability caused by occupational exposures in firefighters.
Dr. Sneh is also an Affiliated Research Scientist at SHINE, Harvard University, where she collaborates on the Flight Attendant Health study to investigate whether compromised genomic integrity resulting from air travel exposures contributes to the elevated health risks observed in flight crews.
Furthermore, she holds the role of Radiation Oncology position at Brigham Women's Hospital and Research Fellow at Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard.
