About Me

WiseThalamus

Dr Subir Roy

Physician. Global medical-affairs leader. Science storyteller.

Portrait of Dr Subir Roy

I am Dr Subir Roy (MB, BS, MBA)- a physician and a global medical-affairs leader.

I graduated from a Government Medical College in Maharashtra, India, and subsequently completed a postgraduate diploma in Clinical Research and a postgraduate certification in Diabetes Management from Johns Hopkins University in the United States. I also hold a full-time MBA with dual specializations in Healthcare and Marketing from the Indian School of Business (ISB), Hyderabad, as well as an advanced certification in Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning from Duke University.

I practiced medicine for nearly a decade while gradually moving into clinical development and medical affairs, where I have worked closely with global biotechnology companies. I now live in Boston with my wife and our son.

Throughout my education and career, I have remained fascinated by the extraordinary biology that makes us human. That lifelong curiosity led me to create WiseThalamus.

The Curiosity Gene

I am a medical doctor and human biology enthusiast. I believe our understanding of the human body advances by questioning assumptions- including my own- and following the evidence wherever it leads. For me, understanding science means asking honest questions and following the evidence where it leads.

The mission

WiseThalamus explores the science that makes human life possible. Every investigation begins with a surprising question, follows the evidence through biology and medicine, and turns complex ideas into clear, engaging stories.

The aim is to help curious readers understand the remarkable biology within us- while distinguishing what is established, what is plausible, and what remains uncertain.

Why WiseThalamus

I created WiseThalamus to explore the extraordinary biology that makes us human. Here, I follow surprising questions through evidence, anatomy and story, while remaining honest about what science knows, what it suggests and what it has not yet established.

A commitment to clarity

Every investigation separates what is established, what is plausible, and what remains uncertain. The aim is curiosity with intellectual honesty- not clinical advice for an individual reader.

The miracles inside us, explained through science and story.
