    David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA

    Eshita Sharma is a first year medical student at David Geffen School of Medicine, UCLA. She graduated with a BA in Molecular and Cellular Biology and a minor in Global Poverty & Practice from UC Berkeley.

    She has been involved in research at UCSF Neurosurgery, contributing to projects on frailty after spine surgery, minimally invasive surgery, and immunomodulators for glioblastoma. She later joined Brigham and Women’s Hospital and Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, where she worked on high-risk breast cancer research, focusing on risk stratification, imaging recommendations, and racial disparities in breast cancer risk modeling. She also contributed to global health research at Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, studying healthcare quality, provider decision-making, and digital health implementation in resource-limited settings.

    Her interests in surgical outcomes and evidence-based medicine led her to work on neurosurgery systematic reviews and meta-analyses. This began at Brigham and continued at UCLA, where she lead multi-institutional collaborations with international researchers on studies in spine surgery, stereotactic radiosurgery, and neuromodulation.

    She has 10+ peer-reviewed publications and is interested in continuing research focused on improving patient outcomes and addressing healthcare disparities in neurosurgery and oncology.
