Hire Dr. Sourav R.

United States

Research Scientist with expertise in biochemistry, biophysics, scientific writing and public speaking

Profile Summary

I am a research scientist with more than 10 years of experience in the field of biochemistry and biophysics. I completed my college education in the field of Food Technology, from West Bengal University of Technology. After finishing college, I completed Ph.D. from Jawaharlal Nehru Centre for Advanced Scientific Research, in India. Following my Ph.D., I completed postdoctoral tenures at University of Texas Medical Branch-Galveston and University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill. Currently, I am employed at University of Nebraska-Lincoln. Throughout my research career, I had experience in very diverse fields of enzyme kinetics, enzyme chemistry, structural biology, and prebiotic chemistry. In addition to scientific research, I am well trained in writing and editing manuscripts, critical analyses of scientific data, and providing support for design and execution of experiments pertaining to protein purifIcation, biophysical measurements, mass spectrometry, enzyme kinetics, NMR spectroscopy, and cryo-EM
