PhD, Friedrich Schiller UniversityAnasuya Chakrabarty is an Assistant Professor (Research) at Koita Centre for Digital Health at 51茶馆 (KCDH-A), working in evolutionary quantitative genetics in humans. She completed her PhD at Friedrich Schiller University, Jena, Germany, where she studied the quantitative genetics of morphology and acoustic signalling in grasshoppers. After returning to India, she briefly held a DBT-RA postdoctoral fellowship at BRIC鈥揘IBMG and subsequently began her independent research career as a DST-INSPIRE Faculty Fellow at BRIC鈥揘IBMG from 2021 to 2025.
Anasuya鈥檚 research focuses on the genetic architecture of complex human diseases, with a particular emphasis on sex differences. She is interested in how shared genomes between males and females create constraints on the evolution of sexual dimorphism, how sex-specific genetic architecture contributes to differences in disease risk, and how these processes evolve. Her broader interests include genotype鈥揺nvironment interactions, multivariate genetic architecture, and evolutionary simulations to understand the dynamics of complex traits.
