Dr. Paroly obtained her BS and MS degrees in Zoology from University of Madras, India. She then came to Wesleyan University, CT to pursue her Ph.D. degree in the laboratory of Prof. Michael Weir in the Biology Department. Her thesis research involved studying function of the protein, Ppa during Drosophila embryonic development. She joined the laboratory of Prof. Cathy Mendelsohn at Columbia University, NY for her post-doctoral training. There, she focused on studying genes that are involved in embryonic kidney development in the mouse model. Currently a biology faculty at BHSECQ, Dr. Paroly continues to develop her research interest in cancer biology. She collaborates with the laboratory of Dr. Sanjai Pathak at Queens College, CUNY where her research has focused on studying proteins involved in the development of metastatic cancers. She recruits and engages BHSECQ students in her collaborative research projects at Queens College, especially during the summer months. Dr. Paroly is a recipient of Math for America (MFA) Master Teacher fellowship cohort of 2017.
