Education
Roy obtained a Bachelor of Science degree in microbiology, with a minor in South Asian studies at the University of Toronto.[4] She then pursued a Master of Science, studying the photo sensitivity of murine fibrosarcoma cells, at McMaster University.[4] Under the supervision of Denise Belsham, Roy completed her PhD in reproductive neuroendocrinology and molecular biology at the University of Toronto's Institute of Medical Sciences.[4][5][6]
Research
Roy's fields of interest include feminist theory, feminist science and technology studies, neuroscience, molecular biology, postcolonial theory, and reproductive justice movements,[1][7] with her work having been published in a number of journals including: Signs: Journal of Women in Culture and Society,[8] Hypatia[9] and Neuroethics.[10] She serves on the editorial board of Catalyst: Feminism, Theory, and Technoscience, a journal that she helped to found with her Emory colleague Elizabeth A Wilson Archived 2017-10-13 at the Wayback Machine and University of California, San Diego faculty Lisa Cartwright Archived 2017-10-13 at the Wayback Machine and David Serlin Archived 2017-10-13 at the Wayback Machine.[11]
