Nanoparticles, Targeted and Multimodal cancer therapy, Material Science and Engineering

Dr. Namdev Dhas, is currently working as an Assistant Professor in Department of Pharmaceutics, Manipal College of Pharmaceutical Sciences, Manipal Academy of Higher Education (MAHE), Manipal, Udupi, Karnataka, India. He has received his PhD from Institute of Pharmacy, Nirma University, Ahmedabad, Gujarat in the year 2021. He completed his M. Pharmacy in Pharmaceutics from North Maharashtra University, Maharashtra. His area of research includes material science and engineering, multimodal therapeutic platforms, inorganic nanocomposites for cancer therapy. The main focus is synthesized different metal-based nanoplatforms and how their properties will affect the efficiency of therapy and diagnosis. He is potential candidate as a researcher and academician as he has great influence on regional institutes and society and subsequently be increased in near future. Additionally, polymer based nanoparticles synthesis is a part of research domain.  He has published 30 publications in the form of several research and review articles in International journals. He has published two of his articles with 24.883 impact factor (Coordination Chemistry Reviews), six articles in 11.467 impact factor (Journal of Controlled Release) and one article in 10.723 (Carbohydrate Polymers). He has published one of his research articles in 6.510 impact factor (International Journal of Pharmaceutics). As of now, he has bagged with more than 180 cumulative impact factor by publishing the articles in several national and International Journal. He has strong background in handling several sophisticated instruments and animal handling too. Recently, he received a research grant from SRG-SERB in August 2022. He was recently awarded with an award entitled “Excellent Research in Pharmaceutical Science” by Indian Drug Manufacturing Association (IDMA) and Healthcopeia in July, 2022. He is also selected for post-doc position-based fellowship sponsored by CONICET Argentina. He is also trying to establish collaborations with leading institutes like IITs, ISERs and NIPERs for future research. He also received “Young Researcher Award-2020” organized by Institute of Scholars. He is also writing a book for Taylor and Francis CRC Press.
