Melisa S. Guelen is an MD/PhD Candidate at Charité – Universitätsmedizin Berlin, and a Graduate Research Student completing her PhD project at the Athinoula A. Martinos Center for Biomedical Imaging at Massachusetts General Hospital and Harvard Medical School. Melisa is highly interested in pursuing a career in neurosurgery. At AANS25, she presents her clinical study on hemorrhagic brain metastases. Her further research revolves around multimodal deep learning using brain MRI, histopathology from resected brain metastases and clinico-genomic data to predict intracranial checkpoint inhibitor response to brain metastases. Currently, she is leveraging self-supervised learning techniques to develop a foundation model for brain tumors.
