Monika Sharma is an Instructor at the Yale School of Medicine in the Department of Neurology. She holds a master's degree in biotechnology and has received additional research training at the Institute of Genomics and Integrative Biology in India. Dr. Sharma completed her doctoral studies at the University of Alberta, Canada, under the mentorship of Professor Patrick Flood, focusing on the role of beta2-adrenergic receptor (β2-AR) activation in modulating the microglial response in neuro-inflammatory conditions such as Parkinson's disease. Her research revealed crucial mechanisms through which β2-AR agonists influence microglia activation in neuroinflammation. Following her tenure at Harvard Medical School, where she further investigated the role of β2-AR activation in Parkinson's disease, she joined the Adams Center at Yale in 2024. Dr. Sharma's current research concentrates on the regulatory effects of beta2-adrenoreceptor agonists on mitochondrial function in synucleinopathy. Her significant contributions have been recognized through prestigious fellowships from the Parkinson’s Association of Alberta, Canada, and the American Parkinson’s Disease Association (APDA).
