He has qualified the CSIR-UGC NET five times, along with clearing the West Bengal SET and GATE once each. He was also selected for the DST-INSPIRE Doctoral Fellowship. In addition to his academic and research contributions, Dr. Das has five years of experience mentoring aspirants for the CSIR-UGC NET examination, with many of his students currently pursuing doctoral research across leading institutions in India or serving as faculty members in universities and colleges.Dr. Birson Ingti is an Assistant Professor & Coordinator (Department of Microbiology) and Assistant Dean (Admissions), The Assam Royal Global University. Dr. Ingti has more than 11 years of Research and 5 years of teaching experience, his expertise lies in antimicrobial resistance, plasmid-mediated β-lactamase genes, and microbial genomics. He has published over 20 research articles in peer-reviewed journals and authored book chapters with Springer and Taylor & Francis. He is a recipient of the European Society of Clinical Microbiology and Infectious Diseases (ESCMID) Grant and holds ICAR-NET qualification. Dr. Ingti is an active member of ESCMID, BSAC (UK), and ProMED EPICORE. His ongoing research focuses on β-lactamase inhibition using medicinal plant extracts. He has delivered lectures in national and international academic forums. Dr. Amitabha Bhattacharjee is an Associate Professor in the Department of Microbiology at Assam University, Silchar. With over 15 years of academic and more than 20 years of research experience, he specializes in antimicrobial resistance, clinical microbiology, and molecular diagnostics. Dr. Bhattacharjee holds a Ph.D. from Banaras Hindu University and has completed prestigious postdoctoral fellowships in the UK and France under DBT and ICMR programs. He has published over 125 research articles and multiple book chapters, and holds 3 Indian patents on antibiotic resistance detection. He has successfully led 14 national and international research projects funded by DBT, CSIR, DST, and others. His notable accolades include the ICMR International Fellowship, DBT-CREST Award, and Asia Pacific Young Investigator Award. A reviewer for leading journals, he has presented his work globally. Dr. Bhattacharjee's research continues to focus on developing diagnostic markers for AMR and exploring genomic mechanisms of resistance in bacterial pathogens. Dr. Payel Paul is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Botany, North Bengal St. Xavier’s College.
