Sharath Anugula

Sharath Anugula serves as a Guest Researcher in the Department of Cellular and Molecular Medicine at the University of Copenhagen's Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences, specifically within the Molecular Aging Program and Juel-Rasmussen Group. His research is centered at Panum Instituttet in Copenhagen.

Dr. Anugula's research interests focus on the intricate relationship between mitochondrial function, genomic stability, and aging processes. His work bridges molecular biology, genetics, and systems approaches to understand fundamental mechanisms of biological aging. He has made significant contributions to understanding how DNA repair mechanisms, particularly REV1-mediated processes, interact with mitochondrial metabolism in aging contexts.

His publication record demonstrates expertise in mitochondrial biology, with research examining how metabolic shifts, genomic instability, and nucleotide synthesis pathways influence aging trajectories and disease development. His work often employs both experimental and computational approaches to model complex biological systems.

Anugula completed his Ph.D. at the University of Copenhagen in 2021 with research focused on nucleus-mitochondria communication in healthy aging. His scholarly output includes journal articles in Heliyon, Mitochondrion, and Experimental Gerontology, as well as book chapters on aging biology.

His collaborative research network includes prominent scientists in aging research, particularly Professor Lene Juel Rasmussen, with whom he has published multiple studies examining the molecular underpinnings of aging processes.
