Rojyar joined the group as a PhD student and earned her doctorate in 2020 with the thesis "Host autophagy mediates organ wasting and nutrient mobilization for tumor growth." Her research focused on the systemic interactions between tumors and host tissues, using Drosophila melanogaster as a model.

After completing her PhD, she continued as a postdoctoral researcher, further exploring tumor-host interactions. She is now a Senior Engineer in the group, where she contributes to research activities and project management.
