Dr. Bishwajit Paul completed his PhD in New York University (NYU) at the Department of Chemistry in 2012. Prior to starting on his independent career, Dr. Paul pursued two postdoctoral positions, one at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, and the second at the Brigham Women’s Hospital and The Broad Institute until 2015. In 2016, Dr. Paul began his independent career as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Chemistry at Bangalore University in Bangalore under the flagship program called the Faculty Recharge Program, an avant-garde initiative of the University Grants Commission (UGC). Dr. Paul’s research group
primarily focuses on biomimetic peptidic foldamers with significant structural importance. His research interests revolve around investigating new noncovalent interactions, such as halogen bonding, weak hydrogen bonding, C-H…O interactions, and other structural motifs that may not be present in natural peptides.
