Biography
Dr. Jaya Bandopadhyay was awarded Ph.D in 1995 from the Department of Zoology (School of Life Sciences), Visva Bharati University, Santiniketan, in the areas of termite ecology and biology. She also worked as a Senior Research Fellow in the fields of Environmental Toxicology at Visva Bharati. After completion of Ph.D she executed her postdoctoral research at Hormone Research Center, Chonnam National University, South Korea (1995-1998) where she studied the signal transduction pathways for progesterone-induced oocyte maturation in the amphibian model Rana. Her second postdoctoral experience at Gwangju Institute of Science & Technology (GIST), South Korea (1998-2001) was focused mainly on the characterization of calcium-binding protein homologues in the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans (C. elegans). She was involved in projects related to the molecular characterization of calcineurin, calsequestrin, SERCA, and calreticulin and determined their functional implication.
