Education and training:
Dr Shailesh Sharma completed B.Sc. (Biology) in 2002 from Maharshi Dayanand Saraswati University, Ajmer in Rajasthan, India and M.Sc. (Bioinformatics) in 2004 from the University of Allahabad, India. He then completed the First Level Masters Program in Bioinformatics in 2006 from University of Torino, Italy through an India-Italy joint education programme, followed by Ph.D. in Structural Biology in 2010 at the Magnetic Resonance Centre, CERM, University of Florence, Italy. He obtained further training as a Post-doctoral Fellow at the Seattle Biomedical Research Institute, University of Washington, USA and the International Centre for Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology, New Delhi, India through a US-India joint research programme funded by the National Institute of Health (NIH), USA. He was working as a Project Scientist from January 2012 to December 2016 at the National Agri-Food Biotechnology Institute, Mohali, Punjab, India before joining NIAB.
Research experience and interests:
Dr. Sharma’s research experience span bioinformatics and structural biology, including application of data mining, application of bioinformatics tools, computational biology, and structure-activity relationships. His earlier work has included investigations into structural, functional and dynamic properties of metalloproteins. His research at NIAB will involve genome annotation, protein structure, target identification, and molecular dynamics simulations.
