The NBRL research group of the Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur (IIT Kharagpur) maintains its commitment to attracting excellent talents. This time, the prestigious PhD Research admission have made possible the incorporation of Anupam Ghosh, a doctoral researcher who comes from Howrah, West Bengal and will work on applied nanobiotechnology tasks under the supervision of Shivendu Ranjan for the next few years and complete his doctoral thesis.
Specifically, his current research is focused on the development of safer nanomaterials in biotechnological applications. At NBRL he will develop his work in the field of various allied projects , such as Consultancy or Intramural or Extramural, coordinated from the Shivendu Ranjan's Research Group.
Anupam (1995) studied Master of Technology (M.Tech.) in subject Polymer Science & Technology at the University of Calcutta, which is located in the Kolkata city of West Bengal (India). Prior in 2019 he has done Master in Science (M.Sc.) in Applied Chemistry from Ramkrishna Mission VIdyamandira, Howrah, West Bengal, where in 2017 he also obtained his B.Sc. in Industrial Chemistry.
Earlier he has fabricated citric acid-based fluorescent carbon dots for different biological applications i.e. drug delivery, and bioimaging. His research focuses on nano Biotechnology, Micro/Nanotechnology in Drug and Nutraceutical Delivery and in new age agricultural upliftment.
Personal Experience
Anupam Ghosh values the IIT Kharagpur doctoral admission as an “excellent opportunity” to learn new skills and knowledge in his area of research. “This opportunity is one of the most prestigious and constitutes a valuable asset for my academic career,” he says.
“NBRL collaborates with renowned institutes and industries that work closely with nanomaterials, which will provide me with many opportunities to exchange knowledge and learn from other collaborators. The guidance provided by such a dynamic team will greatly enhance my professional development. I am looking forward to a great experience both professionally and personally”, he says after settling in the beautiful campus of IIT Kharagpur just one week ago.
School of Nano Science and Technology
School of Nano Science and Technology (SNST) brings together engineers, biologists, chemists, physicists, materials scientists, and medicos of expertise in nanoscience and nanotechnology. SNST has set a mission to work actively on the developing technologies and innovations and contribute to the national mission and global priorities. SNST faculties are handholding as a cohesive unit of different disciplines and applying their scientific skills in applied and translational nanotechnology. SNST is aiming to generate processes, prototypes, products, technologies, and devices directed toward national as well as global priorities, especially in the domain of healthcare, food, agriculture, environment (water, air & soil), food, and nutrition. Science promotion and dissemination among the young generation is also a focus. SNST is committed to developing high-end research facilities to meet these targets and train the young brain with their skill development in nanoscience and nanotechnology.
Nano Bio Research Lab (NBRL)
We, the NBRL group at School of Nano Science and Technology, IIT Kharagpur, are an interdisciplinary research group working on translating nanotechnology for biomedical applications. NBRL is developing group members from various disciplines, including biotechnology, polymer technology, materials science, chemistry, physiology, and pharmacy. nano-BILYans also include a collaborative team of academicians, scientists, clinicians, and industry personnel.
