Reshma Bhagat is a researcher in the Cohen Lab at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. She previously conducted research in Dr. Celeste Karch’s Lab at Washington University. Her work focuses on understanding the mechanisms of neurodegenerative diseases, particularly tauopathies and the role of non-coding RNAs.
Reshma holds a Bachelor’s degree in Biochemistry from the University of Delhi, a Master’s in Neuroscience from the National Brain Research Centre (India), and a PhD in Neuroscience from the same institution. Her doctoral research explored Zika virus-induced microcephaly mechanisms, specifically how the Zika Virus Envelope (E) protein disrupts neural stem cell quiescence and microRNA networks.
Her research interests center on neurodegenerative diseases, including tauopathies, and the role of non-coding RNAs in disease progression. She employs human iPSC-derived cell models to study cellular and molecular pathways in tau pathology. Her work aims to uncover therapeutic targets for neurodegenerative conditions.
No scientific awards or grants are explicitly mentioned in the provided text. She has not listed advisees, but her research collaborations include Dr. Karch’s Lab and the Cohen Lab.
In her free time, she enjoys sports like Ping-Pong, Tennis, and Badminton and spends time with her cat, Simba.
