Dr. Sougata Jana is a B. Pharm (Gold Medalist) from West Bengal University of Technology (WBUT), Kolkata, M. Pharm (Pharmaceutics) from Biju Patnaik University of Technology (BPUT), Odisha, India & Ph.D form Maulana Abul Kalam Azad University of Technology (MAKAUT), West Bengal (Formerly Known as WBUT). He qualified GATE examination in the year 2005. He received, “M.N Dev Memorial Award” for securing the highest marks in the state of West Bengal in the year 2005 from IPA Bengal branch, Kolkata, India. He is engaged in thirteen years in the field of pharmacy including teaching, research and hospital services etc. He bragged ‘Best Poster Presentation Award’ at 21st West Bengal State Science and Technology Congress-2014, Burdwan, and “Outstanding Paper Award” 1st Regional Science and Technology Congress-2016, Bardhaman Division. Organized by DST, Govt. of West Bengal & Bankura Christan College, West Bengal, India. He published 30 research and review papers in different nationaland international peer reviewed journals.  He is edited in 6 books in Springer & Elsevier.  More than 45 book chapters are also in his credit in Elsevier, Springer, Wiley VCH, CRC Press, Taylor & Francis group. He is reviewer of various international journals such as Elsevier, Wiley, Springer, Taylor and Francis, Dove Press etc. He is a life member of Association of Pharmaceutical Teachers of India (APTI) and Associateship from Institution of Chemists (AIC), India. He successfully guided 17 postgraduate students for their research projects. He is working in the field of drug delivery science and technology including modification of synthetic and natural biopolymers, microparticles, nanoparticles, semisolids and interpenetrating network (IPN) system for controlled drug delivery. Dr. Subrata Jana is presently working as Associate Professor at Department of Chemistry, Indira Gandhi National Tribal University (Central University), Amarkantak, Madhya Pradesh, India and his current research focuses on design and synthesis of artificial receptors for the recognition of anions, cations and N-methylated protein residue. He is also working on biodegradable polymeric based carrier systems for the delivery of drug molecules by collaboration with pharmaceutical scientist. So far he has published ~40 research paper in peer reviewed international journals and contributed more than 10 book chapters in different edited books published by internationally renowned publishers. He also serve as editorial board member for the Journal of PharmaSciTech (ISSN: 2231 3788) and International Journal of Scientific and Engineering Research (ISSN: 2229-5518) as well as reviewer for International Journal of Biological Macromolecule (Elsevier), Journal of PharmaSciTech and Current Pharmaceutical Design (Bentham).He has obtained his PhD in organic chemistry from Indian Institute of Engineering Science and Technology (IIEST), Shibpur, India. Thenhe moved to University of Victoria, Canada, to work with Professor (Dr.) Fraser Hof on supramolecular and medicinal chemistry as a post-doctoral fellow. He then worked further with Dr. Kenneth J Woycechowsky at University of Utah, USA, on protein engineering and enzyme catalysis as post-doctoral research associate. Overall he extensively studied on supramolecular behaviour of the host-guest interaction and synthesis of heterocyclics like pyrimidines, naphthyridines, quinoline and diazepines etc. by exploiting microwave protocol for green chemical synthesis.
