Ranojoy is originally from Kolkata, West Bengal, India. He completed his Integrated BS & MS in Chemistry at IISER Pune before joining the Gerdt Lab as a PhD student in 2024. His research focuses on studying chemical cues to better understand the regulatory signaling pathways involved in cellular aggregation in protists like Capsaspora owczarzaki. Outside the lab, Ranojoy likes to keep a lot going on. He enjoys everything from shopping and exploring new places and cultures, to being outdoors, socializing, and discovering new food joints. Apart from that he still cherishes his undergraduate days and seizes any opportunity to relive that time whenever possible.
