Dr Natasha Sharma

Daphne Jackson Fellow at University College London

Name: Dr Natasha Sharma
Field: Life Sciences & Biomedicine

Specialisms:

  • Pharmaceutical sciences
  • Cancer research
  • Drug development

Research and qualifications:

  • BSc in Pharmacy at the University of Delhi
  • PhD in Pharmaceutical Sciences at the University of Southern California
  • Postdoctoral position at the University of California where she identified pathways for drug targets in tumours

Returning to her research after a 7-year break, Natasha’s Fellowship is entitled: “Investigating the molecular response of cancer cells to extrachromosomal DNA formation using next generation sequencing”. Extrachromosomal DNA often contains oncogenes, which are genes that can drive cancer development. By studying how cancer cells respond to the formation of extrachromosomal DNA, researchers can gain insights into how these cells proliferate and become more aggressive.

We rely on our partners to fund fellowships, host and supervise fellows at their institutions and provide support to help us grow. Find out more about how to get involved below.
