Shehla Pervin, PhD is an Associate Professor in the Department of Internal Medicine at Charles R. Drew University of Medicine and Science. Her research focuses on breast cancer biology, adipose tissue mechanisms, nitric oxide signaling pathways, and metabolic disorders. She has served as Principal Investigator on multiple NIH grants including studies on electronic cigarette effects on breast tumors (R16GM149471), beige adipocytes in African American breast tumors (SC1CA232319), and cancer stem cell targeting (SC1CA165865).
Her work explores interactions between adipose tissue browning, follistatin/myostatin signaling, and cancer progression. Notable contributions include studies on nicotine's role in tumor microenvironments and vitamin D resistance in breast cancer. She has published extensively in journals like Endocrinology, Cancer Research, and Cells.
Dr. Pervin leads the Drew National High School Summer Research Program (R25DK078384) to engage young scholars in biomedical research. Her lab investigates therapeutic strategies for metabolic diseases using metabolic profiling and protein signaling analysis.
