Researcher

Ramanuj DasGupta is a Senior Principal Scientist at the A*STAR Genome Institute of Singapore (A*STAR GIS) where he led a programme in Precision Oncology and Cancer Evolution. He obtained his PhD degree in developmental and stem cell biology at the University of Chicago, US, followed by postdoctoral studies at Harvard Medical School, US, where he pioneered whole-genome high-throughput, RNAi-based functional genomic screens to identify novel regulators of cell-signalling pathways.

DasGupta is also a Professor of Cancer Systems Biology at the School of Cancer Sciences, University of Glasgow and the CRUK-Scotland Institute. The major focus of his laboratory is to interrogate the mechanistic basis for how damage-associated regenerative programmes in the intra-hepatic microenvironment drives progression of chronic disease to HCC.
