Biography
Dr. Biswajit Ganguly, Sr. Principal Scientist in Analytical Division and Centralized Instrument Facility at Central Salt and Marine Chemicals Research Institute. He has expertise in Computational Chemistry/Molecular modeling: Ab initio, Molecular Mechanics, DFT, Monte-Carlo simulations, QM/MM methods--used to derive answers for problems in Organic, Inorganic and Biomoleular systems
Research Interest
Designing new and novel Super Organic bases; Morphology of Ionic Solids; Novel sensors for anions, cations and neutral molecules; Ligand binding studies with DNA; Acetylcholinessterase (AChE): Conformations, Dynamics, Hydrolysis and the Therapeutic Pharmacophores; Structural-Activity relationships in Organic and Inorganic systems. Designing Pores and Channels by assembly of cyclic peptides. We do collaborate with experimental chemists to design and synthesize the molecules/systems of immediate interest.
