Shikha Singh Chauhan

Shikha Singh Chauhan is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry at The University of Oklahoma. Her research focuses on cyclic nucleotide signaling pathways, particularly investigating 2',3'-cyclic nucleotide monophosphates (2',3'-cNMPs) and their roles in bacterial translation, cancer, and archaeal methanogenesis. She holds a Ph.D. from Central Drug Research Institute, India (2017), followed by postdoctoral and visiting research roles at the University of Pittsburgh and Pennsylvania State University.

• Education:
• Ph.D., 2017, Central Drug Research Institute, India
