معرفی
Professor Vijendra Sharma is a faculty member in the Department of Biomedical Sciences at the University of Windsor's Faculty of Science. His research focuses on neurodegenerative diseases, particularly Alzheimer’s, exploring molecular pathways and therapeutic interventions. He has secured grants from the WE-Spark Health Institute’s Igniting Discovery program to advance his work. His research interests span molecular mechanisms of memory, stress response pathways, and translational control in neurological disorders. Sharma’s lab utilizes mouse models and cellular systems to study Alzheimer’s, autism, and epilepsy, with recent emphasis on quinone reductase 2 (QR2) inhibitors and astrocyte functions. His work bridges basic science and clinical outcomes, including studies on obesity-linked lncRNA and alcohol-induced liver injury.
His recent publications highlight contributions to understanding ATF4’s role in long-term memory, 4E-BP2-dependent translation in cerebellar Purkinje cells, and p53’s prognostic significance in breast carcinoma. Collaborations and grants underscore his commitment to interdisciplinary research addressing health challenges.
Sharma mentors students in neuroscience and molecular biology, though no specific advisees are listed. His research also involves collaborations within the Faculty of Science and beyond, focusing on translational neurobiology and drug development strategies.
