معرفی
Sudarshana Sharma, PhD is an Associate Professor in the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology at the Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC). Her research focuses on molecular mechanisms underlying neurodegenerative diseases, cancer biology, and inflammatory processes, with interdisciplinary interests in materials science. She is affiliated with the College of Medicine and contributes to translational research programs at MUSC.
Key research areas include:
- Regulation of Nrf2/Bach1 pathways in neuroprotection
- STAT3 signaling in pancreatic cancer stromal fibroblasts
- MicroRNA (e.g., miR-146a) roles in muscular dystrophy and cancer
- Superconductivity and quantum materials (collaborative projects)
Dr. Sharma’s recent work highlights therapeutic potential of targeting inflammation (NF-κB, ferroptosis) and transcriptional regulators (PU.1, ETS2). She has also investigated bone biology, including osteoclast differentiation mechanisms and ETS transcription factors.
Selected recognitions include publications in IEEE Access, Neurobiology of Disease, and Journal of Molecular and Cellular Cardiology.
Labs/Teams: Collaborates across interdisciplinary teams at MUSC, though specific lab names are not explicitly listed in provided texts. Active in biomedical research networks.
