معرفی
Tapasree Roy Sarkar is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Biological Sciences at Texas A&M University. She joined the department in 2018 and is the Co-Director of the Center for Statistical Bioinformatics (2019–present). Her research focuses on cancer biology, particularly the molecular mechanisms underlying epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and its role in metastasis. She explores how circadian rhythms influence cancer progression and tumor microenvironment dynamics.
Education: M.S. in Biology from East Tennessee State University, Ph.D. in Biological Engineering from Purdue University, followed by postdoctoral research at the National Cancer Institute (NCI/NIH) and M.D. Anderson Cancer Center.
Research Interests: Cancer bioinformatics, cancer metabolomics, nanotechnology, and mechanobiology. Her work integrates experimental and computational approaches to understand how disruptions in circadian clocks and tumor microenvironments drive aggressive cancers.
Publications: Recent work includes studies on circadian rhythm disruption's impact on mammary tumorigenesis, cancer-associated fibroblasts' role in metastasis, and nanomaterial-based cancer therapies. Her articles span oncology, bioinformatics, and nanotechnology, highlighting interdisciplinary research.
Achievements: Her lab's research has led to advancements in understanding EMT and circadian biology, with applications in developing novel therapeutic strategies. She collaborates across disciplines to address critical questions in cancer biology.
Labs/Teams: Directs the Sarkar Lab, focusing on cancer bioinformatics and nanotechnology-driven solutions for cancer diagnosis and therapy.
