About

Mahima Sharma is a Research Fellow with expertise in structural enzymology and biocatalysis projects. She is currently working as a RCo-Investigator on BBSRC grant BB/W003805/01 on molecular dissection of sulfoglycolysis pathways with Professor Gideon Davies, FMedSci, FRS, at the York Structural Biology Laboratory.

Mahima is a 2021 RSC Horizon prize awardee for collaborative research with industrial partners, GSK, Prozomix, and Manchester Institute of Biotechnology and also won a recent 2024 RSC Horizon prize, for her work on breakdown pathways of ubiquitous plant sulfolipids, with researchers from University of Melbourne, Meiji University and Kyoto University.

Previously, she completed her DPhil in Chemical Biology from the University of Oxford in 2015 and worked on designing artificial metalloenzymes for C-C cross-coupling reactions under the supervision of Professor Benjamin G. Davis, FRS, and then began her postdoctoral work on structural and biochemical studies of enzymes enabling chiral amine synthesis (IREDs and reductive aminases) with Professor Gideon Grogan and Professor Nicholas J. Turner.
