Jeremy D Sherman
About Me
Jeremy Sherman is a current MD/PhD student in the NEU multidisciplinary training area at the Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences at Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai. His research in Yasmin Hurd's lab investigates epigenetic signatures of opioid use disorder in the dorsal striatum, a region of the brain critical to habit formation and addiction. His thesis identified multiple gene expression networks involved in neurodegenerative diseases that were perturbed by heroin. He is supported by an NIH F30 grant.
Jeremy has also served as Clinic Chair and Chief Teaching Senior at the East Harlem Health Outreach Partnership (EHHOP) Mental Health Clinic (MHC). In his time at EHHOP he has helped establish the Cognitive Behavioral Therapy program and oversaw expansion of mental health consult and liaison services and refugee mental health care. Since finishing his leadership roles he has focused on special projects including an access to care initiative for which he received a humanitarian grant from the RTW charitable foundation.
Jeremy graduated Summa Cum Laude from Columbia University in 2017 with a Bachelor's in Arts in Neuroscience and Behavior with a concentration in Chemistry. There he was president of the Columbia Neuroscience Society and Triathlon Club, and managing editor of the Journal of Global Health. His research in the lab of Christoph Kellendonk investigated the role of the dopamine D2 receptor in the nucleus accumbens on motivated behavior.
