About
Dr. Banabithi Koley Seth is a Chemist
having expertise in Teaching and Research in the
frontier interdisciplinary area addressing their chemical, physical,
environmental and biological aspects through different sophisticated
spectroscopic, biochemical, biophysical techniques and target-specific
synthesis. She earned her B.Sc. and M. Sc degrees in chemistry from
Calcutta University, Kolkata. After that, she completed a one-year post-MSc
Course in 'Biophysical Sciences', combining Physics, Chemistry, Biology
and versatile interdisciplinary techniques from Saha Institute
of Nuclear Physics, Kolkata, in order to pursue research in interdisciplinary
science. She was awarded her Ph.D. degree from Jadavpur University, Kolkata
(with a 5-year fellowship scheme of CSIR-UGC)
(2016). After completion of her Ph.D., she did postdoctoral
research on advanced fields in Peptide NMR, Medicinal
Chemistry, Bio-Chemical and Bio-Physical tools from the Technical
University of Darmstadt, Germany and Durham University, UK
(2016-2020). Post-maternity, she worked on her own project on the modification
of a clinically used chemotherapeutic drug to develop a next-gen
isoform-selective HDAC enzyme inhibitor that would mitigate side
effects as Dr. D. S. Kothari Postdoctoral Fellow at the Department of
Chemistry, Gujarat University, Ahmedabad (2021-2024). She also
gained teaching experience from the University of
Durham, UK, as a Demonstrator (2018-2019). She has had experiences
of mentoring bachelor's, master's students and research
scholars of Chemistry,
Bio-Chemistry and Zoology since her Ph.D. She is skillfully
experienced in working with many modern instruments used for scientific
research.
