Sounak Ghosh Roy obtained his PhD in biochemistry from the City University of New York in 2018 and currently serves as a scientist at the Henry M. Jackson Foundation (HJF), contributing to biomedical research at the Naval Medical Research Command (NMRC). He has held his current position at HJF since October 2022. His research mainly focuses on creating and studying mouse models that act like humans, producing and purifying monoclonal antibodies, and exploring infectious diseases, brain disorders, polycystic kidney disease, the unfolded protein response (UPR), autophagy, and flaviviruses. He recently led projects studying human brain cells and T cells in mice that have a human-like immune system, and he also worked on isolating and purifying monoclonal antibodies that target hantavirus, Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever virus, and severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome virus from these mice that were given genetic material and proteins from the viruses. His research has produced eight articles, nine book chapters or reviews, eight presentations, six poster sessions, and seven courses. Furthermore, he has consistently received invitations to review the work of his peers for approximately fifteen different journals and holds positions as guest editor and topic coordinator for publications such as JoVE and Frontiers. He has received several research grant awards, allowing him to attend conferences (MHSRS, ASTMH, CSHL).
