About
Prof Monika Sharma currently serves as the Program Chair, Biological Systems Engineering and an Associate Professor at Plaksha University. Her research interests include the application of computational methods to understand biological processes, especially those provided by conformational dynamics. Her work lies at the interface of Chemistry (understanding interactions), Physics (defining rules), Mathematics (integrators and statistical analyses), and Computer Science (extracting, analysing, and interpreting data). She is particularly interested in integrating deep learning with the study of conformational dynamics to identify characteristics that may indicate underlying disrupted biological mechanisms and be amenable to treatment, ultimately improving survival and facilitating clinical decision-making. Her vision is to create a world-class research environment where she can translate fundamental research into biomedical applications that benefit society and the healthcare industry.
