Anonya Dey is a lecturer in the Department of Biochemistry and Biotechnology at the University of Science and Technology Chittagong (USTC). Prior to joining USTC, she worked as a graduate research assistant in the Functional Genomics and Proteomics Laboratory at the University of Chittagong, where she contributed extensively to projects focused on reproductive endocrinology, gene polymorphisms, and women’s metabolic health. She has also served as an undergraduate research assistant in the Disease Biology and Molecular Epidemiology Research Group, where she participated in a multicenter COVID-19 study during the pandemic.
Anonya earned both her B.Sc. and M.S. degrees in Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology from the University of Chittagong. She later conducted her master’s thesis on the genetic and biochemical basis of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS), focusing on FSHR, INSR, and SHBG gene polymorphisms. Her experience spans nucleic acid extraction, PCR amplification, qRT-PCR, Sanger sequencing, and a wide range of computational approaches, including molecular docking, network pharmacology, and protein–protein interaction analysis.
She is experienced in molecular genetics and computational biology, with research interests centered on PCOS pathophysiology, insulin resistance, reproductive endocrinology, and SNP-based disease susceptibility. Beyond PCOS, she has also explored autism-related mitochondrial dysfunction, epilepsy-associated polymorphisms, and metabolic disorder modeling.
Anonya has presented her work at various national research festivals and conferences. Her research achievements have been recognized through several notable awards, including the prestigious National Science and Technology (NST) Fellowship and the Jamal Nazrul Islam Research Excellence Award (Student Researcher Category).
She is passionate about advancing molecular research in women’s health and aims to contribute to precision medicine approaches in reproductive endocrinology.
