Biography
Dr. Jasim has obtained her master degree in public health, with an epidemiology focus at Saint Louis University as a Fulbright Scholar. She completed a post-doctoral fellowship in cancer genetics at the University of Texas’ Anderson Cancer Center before she completed her Internal Medicine residency at Saint Louis University School of Medicine. She pursued her endocrinology fellowship training at Mayo Clinic in Rochester, MN, where she also served as Instructor in Medicine.
She serves as faculty member at the Division of Endocrinology, Metabolism and Lipid Research at Washington University School of Medicine since 2017. She cares for patients with thyroid nodules, thyroid cancer, endocrine tumor syndromes such as multiple endocrine neoplasia, pheochromocytoma, and paraganglioma syndromes; including adrenal cancer and other endocrine neoplasia.
She is involved in multiple committees and programs with national endocrine societies including the American Thyroid Association (ATA), Endocrine Society (ES) and The American Association of Clinical Endocrinology (AACE), where she served as the thyroid DSN chair for 2 years. She serves as the Editor in Chief of AACE Clinical Case Report Journal. She has more than 45 peer reviewed published articles, numerous editorials and book chapters. She has also delivered multiple lectures locally, nationally and internationally on thyroid and adrenal tumors as well as publications seminars.
Research Interests
Dr. Jasim’s research interests focus on thyroid tumors, endocrine neoplasia and related hormonal disorders. She is looking into optimizing patient’s experiences who are undergoing treatment for thyroid cancer, advanced endocrine neoplasia and familial endocrine tumor disorders by approaching it in systematic and multidisciplinary fashion. Her research work at Washington university focused on clinical and molecular predictors of thyroid cancer outcomes based on nodule location and other factors. She has collaborated with several experts to report their findings on national meetings and through several publications. She is also interested in looking at practice patterns to influence the care delivery for patients with adrenal cancer and familial pheochromocytoma/paraganglioma syndromes. She is interested in clinical research that improves care for those patient cohort.
Dr. Jasim also wrote on thyroid nodules and ultrasound-guided biopsy, pheochromocytoma and therapeutic options, genomic interrogation in advanced thyroid cancer, clinical outcomes in adrenal cancer in relation to hormonal status.
She chaired a guidance document on minimally invasive thyroid techniques to treat benign and malignant nodules. She served on writing task forces of multiple white papers, consensus statements and practice guidelines on growth hormone, thyroid cancer, thyroid disorders with immunotherapy and multiple endocrine neoplasia.
