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 is working at the Department of Health and Family Welfare, Directorate of Health Services, Government of West Bengal, India.  He has a research, teaching and health services experience of thirteen years in the field of pharmacy. He has published 30 research and review papers in different national and international peer reviewed journals.  He has edited 6 books with international publishers such as Springer & Elsevier.  He has to his credit more than 40 book chapters with publishers like Elsevier, Springer, Wiley VCH, CRC Press, Taylor & Francis group. He is a reviewer of various international journals. 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. His areas of expertise are 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 an Associate Professor at the 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 more than 40 research papers in peer-reviewed international journals and contributed more than 10 book chapters in different edited books published by internationally renowned publishers. He also serves as an 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 the Indian Institute of Engineering Science and Technology (IIEST), Shibpur, India. Then he moved to the 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 the University of Utah, USA, on protein engineering and enzyme catalysis as a post-doctoral research associate. Overall, he extensively studied 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.
