Laboratory of Peptide & Amyloid Research
Principal Investigator
He obtained his PhD from EPFL, Lausanne, Switzerland, under the supervision of Prof. Manfred Mutter on 2006. Then he joined the group of Prof. Herbert Waldmann and Dr. Hans-Dieter Arndt, Max-Planck Institute for Molecular Physiology, Dortmund, Germany, as a post doctoral fellow (Marie Curie Fellow) from 2007-2008. Presently he is an associate professor at the Department of Chemistry, IIT Guwahati. His area of research includes Alzheimer's disease, disruption of beta structure of amyloid forming peptide, mechanistic investigation of amyloid formation and also the development of new methodology for solution phase as well as solid phase peptide synthesis.
