Dr. Shakardokht Jafari

Senior Advisory Group

A pioneering medical physicist and recipient of the 2024 Innovator of the Year award, proudly supports the Friends of Sima Samar initiative to help bring this vital story to the world. Her invention of the micro-silica-bead DOSEmapper™ system delivers millimetre-accurate radiation-dose mapping that is transforming radiotherapy outcomes and underpinned the accolade she received at the Dynamic Awards. Equally groundbreaking is her Bridge initiative—Education Bridge for Afghanistan—which now streams internationally accredited lessons to thousands of Afghan girls barred from secondary school, opening recognised pathways to university study.
