Dr. Roy's Lab

I am a motivated researcher with a solid background in research and development, with a particular emphasis on drug delivery for incurable diseases. Our laboratory has done extensive research work in the targeted delivery of medications and vaccines in the preclinical context. As a leading researcher, I have successfully managed several partnerships and collaborated with diverse teams on several research topics. My research interests have concentrated on expanding our understanding of the diseases that affect our brain through infection, aging, neurodegeneration, and other environmental factors, as well as the identification and refinement of biomarkers associated with these disorders.

One of my passions is mentoring and developing the skills of young researchers. I find immense satisfaction in leading the next generation of scientists, assisting them in their academic pursuits, and promoting their professional growth. Our laboratory has trained several national and international trainees over the years and is very proud of their current success in their professional field.

My professional experience contributes to the development of medications and antibodies for incurable diseases, as well as the identification and refinement of biomarkers associated with infection-induced neurological disorders. I am devoted to make important contributions to the logical community, and my work seeks to solve fundamental issues in the discipline.
