Gaurav Sharma
Summary
Gaurav Sharma is a biomedical researcher with expertise in intermediary metabolism and metabolic imaging. His long-term research interests are the development of magnetic resonance spectroscopy/imaging (MRS/I) techniques for the noninvasive investigation of metabolic processes under both normal and pathologic conditions that can be applied in preclinical and clinical settings. Gaurav's current research focus is mainly in two areas: first, development of novel methods for non-invasive assessment of metabolism and second, understanding the intermediary metabolism in biological systems. In particular, his research involved the use of dynamic nuclear polarization to increase the MR signal of metabolically active, 13C-labeled probes for accessing metabolism in isolated perfused organs and in vivo metabolic imaging, and 13C-NMR isotopomer analysis for assessing in vivo metabolic flux.
