Animesh Ray, PhD
Professor, director of the MBS-PhD Program

Areas of Expertise:
  • Gene Regulatory Networks
  • MicroRNA
  • Plant Development
  • Gene Function
  • Homologous Recombination

Animesh Ray applies systems biology approaches to studying chromosome dynamics, imprinting, and gene regulation. His laboratory has co-discovered and patented a gene that is central to micro-RNA metabolism in plants. He has been a pioneer in computing with molecules, and has designed the first artificial logic circuits with DNA. His current research focus is on deciphering and analyzing complex gene-regulatory networks and he has conducted research at the Institute of Molecular Biology, University of Oregon, and the Department of Biology, Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He teaches courses on molecular systems biology that includes the logic and methods of gene function discovery and the application of this work to human therapeutics. He is the director of KGI’s PhD program. Professor Ray earned his PhD in microbial genetics from Monash University in Melbourne, Australia. Previously he was a faculty member at the University of Rochester and at the University of California San Diego.
