Dr. Bhavna Murali is a cancer biologist by training and currently a Senior Consultant in the Oncology and Specialty Therapeutics team at Oracle Life Sciences. Prior to joining Oracle Life Sciences, she was a postdoctoral researcher in the field of translational cancer biology with a focus on novel therapies targeting the tumor microenvironment to treat breast cancer metastases and chemotherapy-induced bone loss.

She holds a Ph.D. in Molecular Cell Biology from Washington University in Saint Louis and a B.A. in Genetics from Ohio Wesleyan University. Her passion stems from personal experiences supporting friends and family through cancer diagnoses, where she witnessed firsthand the challenges and anxiety patients face in understanding their treatment options. Recognizing the value of her oncology knowledge, she is dedicated to bridging this gap and supporting a broader patient community, which led her to join PEN.
