Assistant Professor of Neuroscience, Weill Cornell Medical College

Dr. Sharma received his Ph.D. from the University of Toronto & Hospital for Sick Children (Canada). He is an Assistant Professor of Neuroscience at the Appel Institute for Alzheimer’s Research, and Brain & Mind Research Institute, Weill Cornell Medical College, New York, NY.

The Sharma Lab studies neurodegenerative diseases, using molecular-cellular techniques, patient-derived induced neurons, as well as mouse genetic models. Dr. Sharma studied microbiology for his undergraduate degree. During his PhD thesis with Dr. Gergely Lukacs, he trained as a molecular cell biologist, while studying misfolding and quality-control of the cystic fibrosis protein CFTR. He applied this training to neuroscience during his postdoctoral training with Dr. Tom Südhof, and acquired mouse genetics skills, in order to study animal models of human neurodegenerative diseases (Burré et al., 2010; Sharma et al., 2011). As an Assistant Professor of Neuroscience at Weill Cornell Medicine, Dr. Sharma’s lab studies neurodegenerative disorders at the molecular-cellular level, including their pharmacological correction-strategies (Naseri et al. 2020; Xie et al. 2021), frequently in collaboration with Dr. Jacqueline Burré’s lab (MPI on this grant).
