Bhaskar Roy

Bhaskar Roy is an Associate Professor of Neurology at Yale School of Medicine, specializing in neuromuscular disorders. He serves as Director of the Muscular Dystrophy Association Adult Care Clinic and Medical Director of the Electrodiagnostic Laboratory at Yale Medicine. His clinical expertise includes muscular dystrophies, inflammatory myopathies (polymyositis, dermatomyositis, inclusion body myositis), and autoimmune neuromuscular disorders. He completed neurology residency at the University of Connecticut and a neuromuscular fellowship at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, Harvard Medical School. He holds certifications in neurology, neuromuscular medicine, electrodiagnostic medicine, and neuromuscular ultrasound.

His research focuses on biomarkers in neuromuscular diseases, including electrical impedance myography (EIM) for tracking inclusion body myositis progression. He collaborates on clinical trials for myasthenia gravis (e.g., Nipocalimab, Inebilizumab) and explores disparities in SMA and MG treatments globally. His work also addresses neurology-related comorbidities and pain management in diabetic neuropathy.

Key clinical trials include studies on efgartigimod for chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy and zilucoplan for myasthenia gravis. His lab investigates immunological signatures in late-onset myasthenia gravis and trial design impact on outcomes. He chairs the IBM scientific interest group within IMACS.
