Cynthia Mira Sharma (born 1979) is a biologist, who is Chair of Molecular Infection Biology II at the University of Würzburg.
Her research focuses on how bacterial pathogens regulate their gene expression to adapt to changing environments or stress conditions.
[1] She remained at the Max Planck Institute for Infection Biology for a short postdoctoral position with Jörg Vogel.
In late 2010, she performed a short postdoctoral research in the United States where she worked alongside Gisela Storz at the National Institutes of Health in Bethesda, MD[citation needed] In 2010 Sharma was recruited to the University of Würzburg's Research Center for Infectious Diseases (ZINF, Zentrum für Infektionsforschung), as an independent young investigator group leader.
