About

Dr. Sanchita Bandyopadhyay-Ghosh is currently working as a Professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Manipal University Jaipur, where she established the ‘Engineered Biomedical Materials Research and Innovation Centre (EnBioMatRIC).
Sanchita pursued her PhD from the University of Sheffield, UK on development of novel bioceramic scaffolds for bone tissue engineering, with the ‘Overseas Research Scholarship’.
Before joining Sheffield, she was awarded Pre-doctoral Fellowship from K.U. Leuven, Belgium to work on an ambitious European project funded by Daimler-Chrysler and Airbus to develop new generation high-strength carbon fibre reinforced composites. During this tenure, she also joined the ‘European Postgraduate Course in Polymer and Composite Engineering (EUPOCO)’ at Leuven, jointly run by several leading European universities.
Following her PhD, she worked as a Teaching Research Fellow at Alfred University, USA. She later joined the Centre for Biocomposites and Biomaterials Processing at the University of Toronto, Canada as a Post-doctoral Research Fellow and carried out research on biocomposite biomaterials.
Following her return to India, she joined Birla Institute of Technology and Science, Pilani and later at Manipal University Jaipur. Currently, at Manipal University Jaipur, her current research focuses in understanding micro and nano-structure- property correlations and cell-biomaterial interface for potential application on bone bioengineering. Her areas of expertise include regenerative medicine, 3D
bioprinting for bone tissue, bioceramics and bioresorbable hydrogel scaffolds.
Dr. Bandyopadhyay-Ghosh has secured several R&D grants from various funding agencies and initiated research programs on development of engineered orthopaedic biomedical materials.
Along with publishing several peer reviewed journal papers, she has edited books, published book chapters and filed ten Indian patents, out of which six patents have already been granted.
Dr. Sanchita aims not only to bring scientific advances to clinics, but she also aspires to integrate affordability and sustainability in the development and evolution of biomaterials.
