Debleena Ray

Debleena graduated from the University of Leicester, the UK with an MSc in Molecular Genetics and earned a Ph.D. in Molecular Biology from the University of Birmingham, UK. She is currently a Senior Research Fellow in Duke-NUS Medical School (Cancer and Stem Cell Biology) where she is building a line of research to better understand the role of RNA processing in cancer and to translate these understandings to clinical advances. She believes great science leads to great innovation that impacts lives. She has a keen interest in the latest development in biotech in Singapore that is poised to meet unmet clinical needs. Through her position as an ambassador in BCS, she wants to reach out to the greater community of biotech enthusiasts that includes scientists from academia and industry, entrepreneurs, and policymakers. When Debleena is not decoding RNA processing in cancer or advocating biotechnology, she is a loving mother to a toddler, a passionate foodie, and an avid traveler.
