Dr. Sandeep Chaudhary was born and raised up in the defense environment family (Birthplace: Jodhpur). He did his M.Sc in Chemistry from Deen Dayal Upadhyay Gorakhpur University (DDUGU), Gorakhpur, UP. After qualifying several competitive exams such as NET, GATE, ASRB etc.; He did his Ph.D in Organic and Medicinal Chemistry from CSIR-Central Drug Research Institute, Lucknow and Jawaharlal Nehru University, New Delhi from 2002-2007 with Prof. Dr. Chandan Singh [Scientist G (Retd.), Director Grade Scientist]. He then moved to USA and worked as Research Staff (Postdoctoral fellow) at The City University of New York, New York, USA from 2008-2010 with Prof. Wayne W. Harding [Associate Professor, CUNY - Hunter College]. After that, he availed one of the world most prestigious award given by the "Japan Society for the Promotion of Science (JSPS)", Japan and worked as "JSPS PostDoctoral fellow" at Institute of Microbial Chemistry, Microbial Chemistry Research Foundation, Tokyo, Japan from 2010-2012 with Prof. Dr. Masakatsu Shibasaki [Director, Institute of Microbial Chemistry; Chairman, Board of Governors, Microbial Chemistry Research Foundation, Tokyo; Emeritus Professor, The University of Tokyo; Emeritus Professor, University of Hokkaido; Regional Editor, Bioorg. Med. Chem. Lett. Journal].

He is also currently working as an Associate Professor in the Department of Medicinal Chemistry, National Institute of Pharmaceutical Education and Research, Raebareli (NIPER-R), Lucknow Campus, Lucknow since June, 2021. He served as Dean, NIPER-Raebareli from Feb, 2022 to 1 May, 2025. He also served as HoD, Department of Medicinal Chemistry from 4 Aug, 2021 to 14 Sep, 2025.
He is currently a Honorary Professor at Perm State University, Perm, Russia. He was elected as MRSC Member at Royal Society of Chemistry (UK) in Sep, 2025. He was also elected as the Fellow of Indian Chemical Society (FICS) since 2014. He is also the member of the Indian JSPS Alumni Association (www.indianjspsalumni.org) since 2012.

Earlier, He worked as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Chemistry, Malaviya National Institute of Technology Jaipur (MNIT Jaipur), Rajasthan, India from Oct, 2012 to June, 2021. He was a committee member in the establishment of the highly sophisticated instrumentation facility center i.e., Materials Research Centre (later name changed to Advanced Centre for Material Research) in the institute and also served as "Adjunct Faculty" position in the Advanced Centre for Material Research from 2013-2015.
