Asmita Samadder

Assistant Professor and Head

biography

Dr. Asmita Samadder completed her M.Sc. and then received her Ph.D from University of Kalyani, India. She worked in an International Project, France, during her PhD tenure, and later completed her training at Jawaharlal Nehru University, India, as DST Postdoctoral fellow in Nanoscience and Technology, JNCASR. She has over 40 original research publications in International peer-reviewed journals of repute. Presently, she is an Assistant Professor and Head in the Department of Zoology, Dumdum Motijheel College, Kolkata, India.

 

Area of Interest

Her research interest includes formulation of several drugs to treat various toxicants induced Diabetes, Cancer, Reproductive dysfunction using Nanotechnology, Pharmacology, Homeopathy, etc. exploring well defined modulatory effects of signaling cascades at Genetics, Cellular and Molecular level in both in vitro and in vivo system. Additionally she assists in evaluating the biological application of chemical sensors for host-guest interaction in toxic environment.
