Brief about you

Dr. Anirban Samanta is working at B.V. Patel Pharmaceutical Education and Research Development (PERD) Centre since August 2013. After completing his M.Sc. form Vidyasagar University, West Bengal, he had enrolled for PhD programme at Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), Kharagpur under the guidance of Prof. Tanmaya Pathak and Prof. Swagata Dasgupta. There he got experience of synthesizing modified nucleosides designed for inhibition of RNase A. After obtaining his PhD degree in 2010, he went to Kanagawa University, Japan for one year as a post-doctoral fellow. In Japan, he was working under Prof. Akira Ono on elucidating metal ion binding property of modified DNA duplex. Coming Back to India, he joined Dr. H. V. Thulasiram’s lab at CSIR-NCL, Pune as Project Assistant-IV to synthesize modified terpenes, mainly fluorinated one. After a short stay at CSIR-NCL, Pune, he joined the current institute as Scientist-B.

Current Activities

Currently, Dr. Samanta is synthesizing heterocycles, such as thiophene and thiazole derivatives having specific enzymatic activity. In another project, he is engaged in modifying certain tricyclic 7-azaindole derivatives which are effective as epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) kinase inhibitors for the treatment of non-small cell lung carcinomas (NSCLC).
