معرفی
Pawan Sharma, PhD, is an Associate Professor in the Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine and the Center for Inflammation and Lung Research at the Lewis Katz School of Medicine, Temple University. His research is dedicated to understanding the cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying airway dysfunction in asthma and other obstructive lung diseases, with a strong translational focus aimed at addressing unmet clinical needs.
Dr. Sharma's research interests center on two major themes: (1) the role of E3 ubiquitin ligases in airway smooth muscle dysfunction relevant to asthma, and (2) the impact of e-cigarette vaping and poly-use of tobacco products (including IQOS) on human lung health. His work aims to uncover disease mechanisms and identify product-specific biosignatures of toxicity. He utilizes both in vitro and animal disease models to bridge basic science with clinical applications.
While no recent publications are listed in the provided text, his research program emphasizes translational insights into lung inflammation and disease pathogenesis, particularly in the context of modern tobacco product use and chronic respiratory conditions.
Dr. Sharma is an active member of the American Thoracic Society and the European Respiratory Society, reflecting his engagement with the global respiratory research community.
He has trained extensively in respiratory and translational research, with postdoctoral fellowships at the University of Calgary’s Snyder Institute for Chronic Diseases and Thomas Jefferson University. His laboratory contributes to advancing understanding of lung homeostasis and disease, though specific grants, advising roles, or collaborative teams are not detailed in the provided content.
