Subhojit Roy, MD, PhD. Principal Investigator, Fundraiser, Cheerleader, Neuropathologist.
I, Subhojit (various pronounciations exist - "soob - o - jeet" being the most popular) started life in a small copper mining town (of ~ 10,000) in the state of Rajasthan, India, where my father was an engineer. I then went to medical school in Calcutta, India, with every intention to pursue a career in general Medicine. However a series of highly improbable mis-adventures led me to abandon this predictable path and enter the US (long story). Despite never having held a pipette in medical school, I decided to do a PhD in neuronal cell biology with Mark Black at Temple (I cannot think of any good reason for this, other than my expiring visa). Anyway, my thesis work helped resolve a key controversy at that time, and instilled a desire of "finding new things". After a rather intense training-period (residency/fellowship and post-doctoral research in pathology/neuropathology/cell biology at the University of Pennsylvania), the Roy Lab was founded in 2008.
My main interest is to explore mechanisms that convey and deposit cargoes into axons, dendrites and synapses. Towards this, we are broadly interested in physiologic neuronal transport/trafficking, and also potential abnormalities in these processes in neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease. I am also Board-certified in anatomic- and neuro- pathology and am the neuropathologist at the VA hospital in San Diego.
