Richa Sharma, MD, MPH, is an Associate Professor of Neurology at Yale School of Medicine and a vascular neurologist at Yale Medicine. She is affiliated with the Center for Brain & Mind Health, Center for Neuroepidemiology and Clinical Neurological Research, and the Janeway Society. Her clinical expertise spans ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke prevention and treatment.
- Education: MD, Duke University School of Medicine (2013); MPH, Yale School of Public Health (2009); BA, Cornell University (2007)
Dr. Sharma’s research focuses on applying computational techniques to stroke etiology and cardioembolic stroke mechanisms. She leads clinical trials such as CAPTIVA (anti-coagulation vs. anti-platelet therapies for intracranial atherostenosis) and REDUCE (blood pressure regulation post-stroke). Her work integrates artificial intelligence in neurology and cardiovascular risk stratification for stroke patients.
She serves as a sub-investigator in trials like ASPIRE (anticoagulation post-ICH) and contributes to StrokeNet initiatives. Her academic output emphasizes novel diagnostics and multimodal stroke research, including telestroke implementation and IV-tPA volume optimization.
