I am a biomedical researcher who serves as the Principal Investigator at the Clinical Neuroimmunology Unit of the Vall d'Hebron Research Institute.

As the Principal Investigator, I have a strong commitment to Translational Research and a solid background in biomedical sciences. My expertise lies in the discovery of biomarkers through genetic indicators and gene expression, particularly in identifying new therapeutic targets for neurological diseases. Additionally, I have over a decade of involvement in pharmacogenetics, genomics, and inflammasome biology studies.

I have received training from various institutions, including the National Institute of Immunology (New Delhi), the Institute of Genomics and Integrative Biology (New Delhi), Progenika Biopharma, and UKE Hamburg.

Dr. Malhotra has developed research lines funded by the Carlos III Health Institute during the periods 2017-2019 and 2021-2024.

Selected awards/grants granted to the PI include:

"Novartis Award" for the best oral communication;
"Extraordinary Award" of the year for his "Doctorate" (UPF);
"Merck Solidarity Award" for multiple sclerosis of the year;
"Hope Award" for multiple sclerosis of the year;
"Marie Curie Fellowship": as a predoctoral researcher;
"Educational Fellowship": from ECTRIMS (Boston);
"PERIS Fellowship": as a postdoctoral researcher.
I serve as a lecturer and have extensive experience reviewing research articles in international journals. I am a member of various scientific editorial committees and have supervised master's and doctoral theses with 'Cum Laude' honors.

I am a member of the Human Resources Strategy for Researchers (HRS4R) Committee at the center, with the main motto of promoting excellence in science in Europe.

In general, my primary research focus includes neuroinflammatory/neurodegenerative diseases and the search for new biomarkers/therapeutic target objectives and drug discovery.
