    Shyamal Kumar Chattopadhyay

    About


    Dr. Shyamal Kumar Chattopadhyay, Professor (HAG)

    I have done my B.Sc. with Chemistry Honours from St. Xavier’s College (1976-79), Calcutta, and M.Sc. (Chemistry) from the University of Calcutta with Inorganic Chemistry Specialization (1979-81). Thereafter, I did doctoral research at the Inorganic Chemistry Department of Indian Association for the Cultivation of Science, under the mentorship of Prof. S. Ghosh and obtained my Ph.D. degree in 1988. I joined B. E. College in July 1989 and since then I have been a faculty of this institute, which has undergone transformations from a Govt. Engineering College to Deemed University (B. E. College (D.U.)), State University (BESU) and finally to IIEST, Shibpur.  
    My research interest is in the field of Coordination and Bioinorganic chemistry, particularly, the study of model complexes that mimic biocatalytic reactions, medicinal applications of metal complexes and metal complex based sensors for biomolecules. 
    During 2006-2007, I worked as a Brain Pool Research Fellow of Korea Federation of Science and Technology Societies (KOFST) and worked at the Advanced Materials Division of Korea Research Institute of Chemical Technology.

    Research Statement


    • The broad research area of our group is in the field of Coordination and Bioinorganic Chemistry. More specifically, our research activities are focused on the following themes:

    • Biological and Medicinal Chemistry
    • Design and synthesis of sensors for bio-relevant ions and molecules like Zn2+, HPO42−, P2O72−, F−, Histidine etc.
    • Metal complex-DNA interactions and study of cytotoxicity of metal complexes against different cancer cell lines.
    • Bio-inspired catalysis
    • Bio-inspired coordination chemistry of vanadium, copper, iron and the applications of such complexes in homogeneous catalysis. We are particularly interested in model studies of vanadium dependent bromoperoxidase, copper-containing enzymes like catecholase and ascorbate oxidase.
    • Chemistry of Ruthenium complexes
    • Chemistry of Ruthenium particularly the electrochemical, photophysical and photochemical properties and electronic structures of ruthenium complexes, their applications as sensors, as light absorbing Dye in solar photo-electrochemical cells.
