Sitara Roy
With over 12 years of dedicated research experience in Human Genetics, encompassing roles at esteemed institutions such as Harvard and UCSD, I've nurtured an in-depth grasp of the field. Dr Sitara Roy’s accomplished portfolio features a prominent publication on gene editing spotlighted in Science Advances. He embarked on his academic journey by delving into brain stroke genetics for his PhD, transitioning subsequently to cancer biology during his postdoctoral tenure at TIFR. This dynamic trajectory uniquely equips him to address the intricate realm of cancer in a comprehensive manner. Dr Roy’s expertise spans diverse research domains, ranging from genetic fundamentals to innovative gene editing methodologies. Currently at Harvard, he is engaged in unraveling gene function, expression, and manipulation to enhance our comprehension of gene regulation. This rich background positions him aptly to authoritatively craft a transformative book that enriches the field of cancer research.
