🔬 Research Focus
Dr. Roy’s research focuses on cardiometabolic physiology, lipid metabolism, and dietary modulation through bioactive compounds. His doctoral work investigated the antiarrhythmic potential of oxygenated derivatives of long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids. Currently, he studies feeding behavior in fish, specifically rainbow trout, using plant-based diets enhanced with molecules targeting taste receptors. He integrates molecular biology, electrophysiology, and nutritional sciences to explore metabolic responses in both animal and cellular models. His multidisciplinary approach spans human health and aquaculture, aiming to optimize nutritional strategies for health and sustainability. 🧫🐟🫀🍽
