Prior to Doctorate in Technology, I (Dr. Anand Krishnan) have B.Sc. and M.Sc. degrees in Chemistry and Organic Chemistry and post graduate diploma in Industrial Chemistry. I registered for the doctoral degree in Organic Chemistry (year 2010), at Durban University of Technology (DUT), Durban, South Africa and graduated in 2014. I had expertise in diversified fields such as Bioorganic chemistry, Natural products, Organic Chemistry, Medical Biochemistry, Integrative Medicine, Nano (Bio) technology, Drug Discovery, and Diagnosis. After my PhD, I worked as a Postdoctoral Researcher at Durban University of Technology, South Africa for a period of two years (2014- 2016). Later, I worked as a Researcher at Discipline of Medical Biochemistry and Chemical Pathology, School of Laboratory Medicine and Medical Sciences, University of KwaZulu-Natal Durban, South Africa. I received a prestigious Innovation Postdoctoral Research Fellowship from the Department of Science and Innovation (DSI) and the National Research Foundation (NRF), South Africa and conduct research at the Department of Chemical Pathology, School of Pathology, Faculty of Health Sciences, University of the Free State, Bloemfontein, South Africa. Furthermore, I am an Intern Medical Scientist with three years' experience in a Chemical Pathology laboratory, National Health Laboratory Service (NHLS) and am registered with the HPCSA. My knowledge of Good Laboratory Practice (GLP), Good Clinical Practice (GCP) and Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs).
