Dr. Rabindra K. Behera is a Professor in the Department of Chemistry, at National Institute of Technology, Rourkela, India. He has obtained his PhD from Tata Institute of Fundamental Research (TIFR), Mumbai in 2011 under the guidance of Prof. Shymalava Mazumdar. At TIFR, Mumbai, he explored the substrate entry pathway and peroxidase activity in cytochrome P450 and investigated the structural/thermodynamic basis of thermostability for thermophilic cytochrome P450 and cytochrome c552. In 2010, he joined Prof. Elizabeth C. Theil Lab at Children’s Hospital Oakland Research Institute, California as a postdoctoral researcher, where he initiated his research in the field of ferritin chemistry. Subsequently, he moved to USC, Columbia in 2012 to join Prof. Caryn E. Outten Lab to investigate “Cytosolic Fe-S cluster biogenesis using Yeast as a model system”. Towards the end of 2013, he returned India with DST-INSPIRE Faculty award to join Institute of Life Sciences, Bhubaneswar.

His current research interest is “Chemistry Occurring inside the Ferritin Nanocage and its Application in Health and Technology”. Moreover, he is equally passionate in teaching and supervising UG, PG and doctoral candidates.
