Dr. Dey-Rao joined Roswell Park Cancer Institute in 2004 as Assistant Director of Proteomics Resources. Her doctoral degree in Botany (Cell Biology, Electron Microscopy and Immunology) was from Calcutta University, India and continued in the German Cancer Research Center, at Heidelberg. She did her post-doctoral training with Professor R. Berezney, (late) Professor OP Bahl, and Professor MS Patel at State University of New York at Buffalo.

She brings several years of experience in recombinant DNA technology and protein purification. Her present research and proteomics technology development takes place in the multidisciplinary, highly interactive environment of Proteomics Resources.

Dr. Dey-Rao is a member of The Society for Free Radical Biology and Medicine and has been working for two years as an organizing member of the WIS (Women in Science) subcommittee. She is also a member of the American Society for Cell Biology.
