Associate Professor of Biology, Ashoka University
Ph.D. Jawaharlal Nehru UniversityTanmoy Roychowdhury is an Associate professor of Biology at the Trivedi School of Biosciences. He received PhD from Jawaharlal Nehru University, New Delhi. Following that he was a postdoctoral research fellow at center for individualized medicine, Mayo Clinic, MN and division of cardiovascular medicine, University of Michigan (2016-2021). Thereafter, Tanmoy worked at center for genomic health at Yale University as a research-track faculty (2021-2024).
Tanmoy is interested in using genomics to improve human health. His research uses genomic and phenotypic data from large biobanks and cohorts to design diagnosis, prevention and therapeutic models. he studies genomic variations that are present in the population using bioinformatics and statistical genetics methodologies. In particular, Tanmoy is interested in developing genomics-driven precision health initiatives for the Indian population. He also works closely with the Koita centre for digital health at Ashoka.
