Animesh A. Sinha, MD, PhD is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Dermatology at the Weill Medical College of Cornell University and an Attending Physician at New York Presbyterian Hospital, Rockefeller University Hospital, and the Hospital for Special Surgery. Dr. Sinha has expertise in the fields of basic immunology, molecular biology, genomics, and clinical dermatology. His professional goals are aimed at bridging the bench to the bedside.
Following the completion of his M.D. degree in 1982 from the University of Alberta, Dr. Sinha received his Ph.D. degree (Medical Sciences ? Immunology) in 1986 from the same institution. Subsequently, he pursued post-doctoral research at Stanford University in the Department of Microbiology and Immunology. Dr. Sinha's subspecialty training in dermatology was completed at Yale University/Yale-New Haven Hospital. Dr. Sinha has received numerous honors and awards for his research activities including an Medical Research Council of Canada Centennial Fellowship, an Arthritis Foundation Investigator Award, and a Clinical Career Development Award from the Dermatology Foundation. Dr. Sinha has been an invited speaker worldwide on a broad range of clinical and research topics. He has published extensively (approximately 50 original articles published or in press), including 4 articles in the journal Science.
Dr. Sinha's long-term research interests are in the field of autoimmunity, particularly the genetic and immunogenetic basis of skin disease. Specific projects include the detailed study of HLA class II-peptide interactions and phenotypic analysis of autoreactive T cells in Pemphigus vulgaris, a life-threatening, blistering autoimmune disease. Dr. Sinha's group is also using cutting?edge DNA microarray technology for the purpose of gene expression profiling across several autoimmune skin diseases including psoriasis, alopecia areata, vitiligo, and cutaneous lupus to yield a broader understanding of basic skin biology and underlying disease mechanisms. The overall aim of Dr. Sinha's work is to interweave detailed molecular as well as systems biology strategies to apply rational and systematic approaches to the diagnosis, pathogenesis and therapy of skin disease.
