Welcome Dr. Renu Sharma!

Dr. Renu Sharma will join our lab in March. Dr. Sharma graduated from Indian Institute of Technology, Guwahati, where she studied the stages-specific functions of BMP4, RHOA-ROCK, and Wnt/β-catenin signaling in breast cancer formation, progression, and therapeutic resistance using various cell and molecular biology approaches. Her research interests include computational genomics, complex molecular dynamics, and translational medical research. Dr. Sharma will be working on the identification and characterisation of recurrent structural mutations driving tumour progression, immune evasion, metastasis, and therapy resistance in breast cancer, elucidating the engaged signaling pathways, examining their oncogenic potential and immunobiology in the in vivo context, and explore therapeutic vulnerabilities of these lethal tumours. Welcome Dr. Sharma!
