Assistant Professor Riti Sharan, PhD
Dr. Riti Sharan came to Texas Biomed in 2019 as a postdoctoral researcher in Dr. Deepak Kaushal’s lab, becoming a Staff Scientist in 2021. She studies the interplay between tuberculosis (TB) and HIV and is especially interested in determining how latent TB infection is reactivated when a person becomes infected with HIV. She has received multiple research grants from the National Institutes of Health. She was recognized by the Texas Developmental Center for AIDS Research with the inaugural Robert Lanford Early-Stage Investigator Award for impactful contributions to HIV research. She is passionate about giving back through outreach to the community and inspiring the next generation, especially young girls, to pursue science.
