Biography: 

Dr. Anupam Bandyopadhyay was born in Burdwan, India in 1983. He received bachelor in science from Burdwan University, India in 2004, and then he moved to BHU for masters study. After a short period of R&D job in synthetic organic chemistry, he joined IISER-Pune in 2008 for pursuing PhD degree. He received PhD degree under the supervision of Prof. H. N. Gopi, and his work has resulted in twelve (12) publications about foldamer chemistry and bioorganic chemistry. To gain better proficiency in biochemistry and chemical biology, he joined Boston College as a Postdoctoral Fellow in 2013 with Prof. Jianmin Gao and worked on primarily selective membrane lipid recognition expanding non-covalent as well as covalent binding strategies for 3 years 4 months. Further, he continued another postdoctoral experience in Prof. Bradley Pentelute lab at MIT for 1year 8 months. Developing technology applied to high-throughput screening utilizing synthetic protein was the major focus at MIT. Then after a short period of bridging postdoc position at NCBS-TIFR, since January 2019 he is appointed as an Assistant Professor at the Indian Institute of Technology, Ropar, India.
