Dr. Shubham Misra is a clinical neuroscientist with an avid interest in biomarker discovery and outcomes research in neurological disorders.
He is working as a Postdoctoral Associate in the Department of Neurology at Yale University School of Medicine in the Rangaraju Lab.
He is serving as a member of the COVID19 Global Forum in the Brain Health Unit of the World Health Organization.
Dr. Misra obtained his Ph.D. in Neurology (2022) from the All India Institute of Medical Sciences, New Delhi, India. His thesis was aimed at determining diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers of stroke using high-throughput proteomics and machine learning approaches. He received the prestigious DST-INSPIRE Fellowship by the Department of Science & Technology, Government of India for pursuing his doctoral studies.
He completed his B. Tech and M. Tech in Biotechnology (2014) from Amity University, Noida, India and had the distinction of being the University Gold Medalist.
Dr. Misra's research lies at the intersection of clinical neurology, proteomics, and statistical data analysis. By leveraging high-throughput proteomics, machine learning, and meta-analytic approaches, his research focusses on biomarker discovery and outcome prediction in neurological disorders. His current research interests are aimed at discovering protein biomarkers and developing machine learning-based prediction models for stroke subtype classification and atrial fibrillation detection in stroke patients. His research is also focussed on understanding the pathomechanisms underlying post-stroke epileptogenesis.
Dr. Misra has over 9 years of research experience and has co-authored over 50 peer-reviewed research publications, including first-author articles in leading journals such as JAMA Neurology, Neurology, the European Journal of Neurology, and the International Journal of Stroke. He served as the Guest Editor at Frontiers in Neurology, where he led a research collection on omics-based approaches in stroke research.
His work has been cited more than 1,200 times.
He was invited to take a 2-hour lecture on "Proteomics data analysis in R" at the peer-to-peer teaching sessions organized by the Bioinformatics Support Hub in the Cushing/Whitney Medical Library at Yale School of Medicine.
Dr. Misra is a recipient of the Young Investigator Award from the World Stroke Organization for his contributions to the field of stroke research.
