10/15/24 - Sharika Bamezai (Sarnoff Fellow 2022-23) Featured in Sarnoff October 2024 Newsletter
We’re thrilled to share that our very own Sarnoff Fellow, Sharika Bamezai, was recently featured in the Sarnoff Foundation’s October 2024 Newsletter! During her Sarnoff Fellowship in Dr. Nicholas Leeper’s lab, Shar contributed to groundbreaking research investigating the molecular parallels between cancer and atherosclerosis. Her leadership on this project resulted in a first-author publication in Nature Communications.
Dr. Leeper praised Shar for her remarkable intellect and work ethic, stating, “The fact that she published a high-impact paper after just a year speaks volumes about her dedication.”
We are incredibly proud of Shar’s accomplishments and can’t wait to see what she achieves next!
