Biography
Nikhil Ranjan Jana received his PhD in chemistry from Indian Institute of Technology-Kharagpur in 1994. He was a postdoctoral fellow at University of South Carolina (1999-2001) with Professor Catherine J. Murphy and at University of Arkansas (2003) with Professor Xiaogang Peng. He moved to Singapore in 2004 and worked as a Scientist at the Institute of Bioengineering and Nanotechnology, until he returned to India in 2008 and began his independent research carrier at Indian Association for the Cultivation of Science (IACS). He is currently Professor and head at the Centre for Advanced Materials at IACS. His laboratory focuses on chemical synthesis of colloidal nanobioconjugate and their application as bioimaging nanoprobe and for prevention/curing of neurodegenerative diseases. He has authored or co-authored 140 peer-reviewed articles on basic and applied nanoscience, with a primary focus on tuning of nanoparticle surface chemistry toward various biomedical applications.
