Sourav Roy, Ph.D., is a Research Assistant Professor in the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biophysics at Kansas State University. His research focuses on structural mechanisms of Lyme disease virulence and complement evasion to develop therapeutics for autoimmune and neurodegenerative conditions.
Dr. Roy's educational background includes:
- B.S. in Physics (2008) from University of Calcutta, India
- M.S. in Physics (2010) from University of Pune, India
- Ph.D. in Life Science (2015) from Homi Bhabha National Institute, India
Specializing in computational biophysics and structural biology, his work integrates protein folding dynamics, Lyme disease pathogenesis, and AI-driven drug discovery. He investigates host-pathogen interactions in vector-borne diseases using biochemical, structural, and computational approaches to design novel complement-targeted therapeutics and study neurodegenerative mechanisms.
Recent publications (2020-2024) reveal strong emphasis on complement system immunology across Lyme disease and coronavirus research, featuring structural analysis of protease inhibition and disorder-to-order transitions. His work increasingly incorporates nanotechnology for biosensors and antimicrobial resistance studies, demonstrating multidisciplinary innovation spanning biophysics, immunology, and therapeutic design.
Dr. Roy leads a laboratory employing structural biology, biochemistry, and computational methods to study bacterial protein dynamics. Current projects focus on complement evasion mechanisms in spirochetes, AI-powered peptide therapeutics, and non-Cholera Vibrio biofilm formation through protein-protein interaction analysis.
