A short bio

An inquisitive molecular biologist with ample bioinformatics training who wishes to shed light on yet unknown biological mechanisms. Joyaditya Saha, MSc., acquired a Bachelor's degree in Liberal Arts and Sciences with a major in Molecular & Cellular Biology and a minor in Biomedical Research in Practice from Erasmus University Rotterdam. Thereafter, Joyaditya pursued a Master's in Molecular Biology as part of an interuniversity programme organised by KU Leuven, Vrije Universiteit Brussel and Universiteit Antwerpen. Having decided to investigate the driving forces behind aggressive forms of colorectal cancer and to improve the translatability of research findings into the clinic, Joyaditya joined the group of Prof. Dr. Louis Vermeulen at the Amsterdam UMC as a PhD candidate in October 2022. Being able to simultaneously combine in silico, in vitro and in vivo work enables Joyaditya to investigate the role played by different biomolecules across a wide range of pathways in a comprehensive manner. He intends to continue using his training and skillset to accelerate the understanding of various pathologies with a special focus on oncology.
