BIOGRAPHY: Dr. Joydev K. Laha started his independent career at NIPER S.A.S. Nagar in July 2011. Prior to joining the NIPER, Dr. Laha was employed as a Staff Chemist in the Laboratory for Drug Discovery in Neurodegeneration (LDDN) at Harvard Medical School. Dr. Laha obtained a Ph.D. degree in organic chemistry from the National Chemical Laboratory at Pune under the mentorship of Prof. Ganesh Pandey. He acquired a total of about five years of postdoctoral research experiences in synthetic organic chemistry and medicinal chemistry at the North Carolina State University and Mayo Clinic in the United States. Dr. Laha gained versatile research experiences including target-driven method development in organic synthesis, natural product synthesis, and medicinal chemistry research directed to structure-based drug discovery. Dr. Laha’s current research interests include green and sustainable organic synthesis for the preparation of heterocycles, key starting materials (KSMs)/drug intermediates and active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) largely using radical reactions. Dr Laha and his group have demonstrated translational applications (Ready-to-Transfer Technology) of a laboratory concept to prepare marketed drugs under Production Linked Incentive (PLI) scheme [Dicholofenec, Chlorothiazide, etc.) and non-PLI scheme drugs including Sildenafil, Clemizole, Moclobemide, Tolmetin, Indomethacin, Aripiprazole, Semaxinib, Sunitinib, Letrozole, Sorafenib, Quetiapine, and several others. Over the past twelve years in his independent career, he has mentored two Postdoctoral Fellows, twelve PhDs and over ninety Master’s students. He is author or co-author of NINETY FIVE papers published in peer-reviewed international journals and has two US Patents (and several applications filed) to his credit. Prof. Laha’s group has published abstract of papers over twenty. He has been serving referee to the ACS, RSC, Science Direct, and Wiley journals. He has delivered invited lectures/oral presentations extensively in India and abroad. Prof. Laha has established collaboration nationally and internationally. Prof. Laha has secured extramural research grants from Government funding agencies consistently.
