Joshua S. Sharp is an Assistant Professor of Pharmacology in the Department of BioMolecular Sciences. Dr. Sharp received his Ph.D. from a joint program between Oak Ridge National Laboratory and the University of Tennessee under the direction of Dr. Robert Hettich in 2003. Dr. Sharp received his postdoctoral training at the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences in the laboratory of Dr. Kenneth Tomer. Following his postdoctoral experiences, Dr. Sharp took a research faculty position in the Complex Carbohydrate Research Center in 2007. In 2015 he joined the Department of BioMolecular Sciences as an Assistant Professor. Dr. Sharp has published widely in the field of biomolecular mass spectrometry, pioneering some of the early work in the development of hydroxyl radical protein footprinting for studying protein structure and interactions. He has received funding from the National Institutes of Health to support his work in developing and applying new methods to study the structure of proteins, carbohydrates, and the complexes they form.
