Inorganic Chemistry

Bio-inorganic Chemistry : 1) On aspects of modifying or simplifying some established anticancer drugs for reasons of high cost and toxic side effects. 2) On aspects of complex formation that lead to reduction in cytotoxicity of different classes of compounds that are otherwise very useful either as industrial chemicals or in medicine. 3) On aspects of DNA interaction (including method building)of simple inorganic complexes, monitored by spectroscopic and electrochemical techniques in order to understand various mechanisms of drug action. 4) On aspects of radiosensitization by simple inorganic complexes on target nucleic acid bases or DNA or cells.

Doctoral Research: Five years at Chemical Sciences Division, Saha Institute of Nuclear Physics, Kolkata. Teaching Experience : Five and a half years at an Undergraduate College affiliated to Burdwan University. Teaching and Research Experience at Jadavpur University: Eighteen years
