Shubhrajit Roy, PhD, is a neuroscientist with expertise in metal homeostasis and brain physiology. He earned his doctoral degree in neuroscience from the S.N. Pradhan Centre for Neurosciences, University of Calcutta, India, and was awarded the Fulbright-Nehru Doctoral Research Fellowship (2018–2019). His research focuses on copper homeostasis in the choroid plexus, with particular emphasis on the mechanisms regulating copper entry into the brain and copper-mediated regulation of the cytoskeleton and cilia.

Currently, he is a postdoctoral fellow in the Department of Physiology, Pharmacology, and Therapeutics at Johns Hopkins University, where he works with Dr. Svetlana Lutsenko. He is an active member of the American Heart Association (AHA) and the Society for Neuroscience (SfN). His work integrates molecular, cellular, and in vivo approaches to understand how copper imbalance contributes to neurological disorders and to identify potential therapeutic strategies.
