About

Dr. Debasish Bandyopadhyay is presently Professor at the Department of Physiology, University of Calcutta. He served this department as the Head for two full tenures. Before joining the University of Calcutta, he was the founder Head of the Department of Biotechnology, Assam (Central) University, Silchar, Assam, India, followed by Head, Centre for Biotechnology, Visva- Bharati University (a Central University), Santiniketan, Bolpur, India. He did his Ph. D. work at CSIR-Indian Institute of Chemical Biology, Calcutta (Degree awarded by University of Calcutta) and his post-doctoral work at University of Texas Medical Branch (UTMB) at Galveston, Texas, USA. He also served as "Pool Officer" [CSIR-Scientist Pool Scheme] at CSIR Indian Institute of Chemical Biology, Kolkata. Prof. Bandyopadhyay has been working on melatonin since last few decades and has made significant research contributions on melatonin in the domains of enzymology, oxidative stress and free radical biology, myocardial ischaemia, gastric ulceration which have been recognized all over the world. Moreover, he has also made an impact in the field of development of new drug/ antioxidants of synthetic or natural origin. He has National and International collaborations and has published 146 research papers till date in national and international peer-reviewed journals. Prof. Bandyopadhyay is a regular reviewer of numerous leading journals published by Elsevier and other internationally renowned publishers. He is one of the editors of the journal named 'Melatonin Research' published from USA. Moreover, Prof. Bandyopadhyay is a recipient of prestigious ‘Parimal Bikash Sen Memorial Oration Award’ from Physiological Society of India, Calcutta. Apart from that he has also received Dr. Chitralekha Mukherjee Memorial Oration Award from Physiological Society of India. Very recently Prof. Bandyopadhyay has also received prestigious ‘Prof. S. C. Mahalanobis Memorial Oration Award’ from Physiological Society of India; the highest award conferred by them. Besides, he is one of the founder fellows of the Physiological Society of India, Kolkata. Additionally, Prof. Bandyopadhyay is currently serving as the Chairperson of the Board of Under Graduate Studies in Physiology (UGBOS) of University of Calcutta and Member of Ph. D. Research Advisory Committee (RAC) in Physiology of the Department of Physiology, University of Calcutta.

Vision

To provide the post graduate students quality teaching in the subject of Physiology at the Department of Physiology, University of Calcutta along with guidance of their dissertation work at their end semester level.
To provide guidance to research scholars working at his laboratory so that they can continue research work at the highest standard and also maintain high standards of publication, finally leading to their Ph. D. Degree.
The goal of his laboratory is to find out through extensive research the mechanisms of oxidative stress mediated changes in different tissues and isolated cells using rat as an animal model and to examine the protective role of the ubiquitous antioxidant, melatonin.
His domain of research centres around oxidative stress and free radical biology, gastric ulceration, myocardial ischaemia, cardiac hypertrophy and metal induced oxidative stress and remediation of oxidative stress mediated changes in different tissues and isolated cells using natural and synthetic antioxidants with the elucidation of the underlying mechanisms.
In addition, recently he has started focusing on 'diabetes-obesity interrelationships' and the underlying mechanisms.

Future vision

In the coming days, Prof. Bandyopadhyay and his team wish to investigate on the crucial molecular mechanism(s) associated with the protective functions of melatonin in different stressful situations. This ranges from exploring the potency of melatonin in conditions where diabetes and obesity together pose a key threat to the cardiac and hepatic tissue to a severe septicemia model. In short, we aim to simplify future therapeutic hurdles with easy alternative interventions with negligible side effects.
