Portrait of Shamita Sanga

Shamita is focused on understanding the genetic and molecular basis of rare diseases with a particular emphasis on neurodegenerative and undiagnosed disorders. Using next-generation sequencing and bioinformatic analysis, she aims to improve diagnostic accuracy, uncover novel pathogenic variants, and facilitate precision medicine. Her work integrates patient-derived data and functional validation to bridge the gap between discovery and clinical impact for rare disease communities.

Specific Interests

  • Identifying molecular underpinnings of rare neuro-degenerative disorders
  • Genotype-phenotype correlation
  • Variant interpretation and functional validation
