For nearly 30 years, the funding provided by the Rappaport Foundation to physicians and researchers has allowed brilliance to flourish and breakthroughs to triumph in the areas of neurologic diseases and mental illness.

Shibani S. Mukerji is the Associate Director of the Neurology Infectious Diseases Unit at Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) and Assistant Professor of Neurology at Harvard Medical School. Dr. Mukerji trained in neurology and neurology-infectious diseases in the MGH/Brigham and Women’s Hospital residency and fellowship programs.  Her K23-funded research focuses on computational methods to integrate patient-derived data and metabolite profiling to identify biomarkers of depression in adults with HIV.  She has led efforts to improve our understanding of neurological manifestations of SARS-CoV-2 infection, including neuropathological and neuroradiographic manifestations of COVID-19.   Dr. Mukerji is supported by the National Institutes of Health, Harvard Medical School Eleanor and Miles Shore Foundation, and the James S. McDonnell Foundation.
