Dr. Revathy Ramachandran is an Assistant Professor of Molecular Biology at the Mohammed Bin Rashid University of Medicine and Health Sciences. Her research focuses on understanding how cancer cells adapt to stressful conditions within a tumor microenvironment and how these adaptive programs contribute to the evolution of chemotherapy resistance. Her group uses biochemical and next-generation multiomic approaches to study the role of transcription factors that regulate stress response in cancer cells. She teaches Genetics, Molecular & Cell biology, and Research methods in the MD undergraduate as well as the MSc/PhD Biomedical Sciences programs. Dr. Ramachandran has more than 10 years’ experience as a molecular biologist studying DNA-Protein interactions in the US (at the National Institutes of Health) and in UAE (at MBRU, Dubai). She received her Ph.D. in Biological Sciences from Virginia Tech, USA, in 2014. Dr. Ramachandran is passionate about science and dedicated to mentoring the next generation of researchers.
